anonfd: Allow making anon files read-only

Browse Source 
It seems a couple places such as arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon.c and
drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c could use anon_inode_getfile()
instead of a private pseudo-fs + alloc_file(), if only there were a way
to get a read-only file.  So provide this by having anon_inode_getfile()
create a read-only file if we pass O_RDONLY in flags.
