Weird indentation here. The call to security_inode_init_security_anon() fits on
one line.

Likewise here. The call to anon_inode_make_secure_inode() fits on one line.

The error path here does module_put(fops->owner), even though a reference wasn't
acquired.

This should say anon_inode_getfd(), not anon_inode_getfile().

Weird indentation here again. The call to _anon_inode_getfd() fits on one line.

This function isn't defined anywhere.

Is there a better name for this than "secure anonymous inode"?
(What is meant by "secure"?)

This patch doesn't compile when !CONFIG_SECURITY because this file is missing a
!CONFIG_SECURITY stub for security_inode_init_security_anon().

Nit: everything else in this file has 'int' on the same line as the function
name.
