[RFC][PATCH 16/27] new wrapper: alloc_file_pseudo()

[Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>]

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

takes inode, vfsmount, name, mode and file_operations and either
returns a new struct file (in which case inode reference we held
is consumed) or returns ERR_PTR(), in which case no refcounts are
altered.

converted aio_private_file() and sock_alloc_file() to it
