[RFC PATCH v2 01/13] fs: Refactor to provide function that allocates a secure anonymous inode

[Ryan Afranji <afranji@google.com>]

From: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>

alloc_anon_secure_inode() returns an inode after running checks in
security_inode_init_security_anon().

Also refactor secretmem's file creation process to use the new
function.
