 * anon_inode_getfd - creates a new file instance by hooking it up to an

 *                    of the file

 * @fops:    [in]    file operations for the new file
 * @priv:    [in]    private data for the new file (will be file's private_data)
 * @flags:   [in]    flags
 *
 * Creates a new file by hooking it on a single inode. This is useful for files
 * that do not need to have a full-fledged inode in order to operate correctly.
 * All the files created with anon_inode_getfd() will share a single inode,
 * hence saving memory and avoiding code duplication for the file/inode/dentry
 * setup.  Returns new descriptor or -error.
