By traversing /proc/*/fd and /proc/*/map_files, processes with CAP_ADMIN
can get a lot of fine-grained data about how shmem buffers are shared
among processes. stat(2) on each entry gives the caller a unique
ID (st_ino), the buffer's size (st_size), and even the number of pages
currently charged to the buffer (st_blocks / 512).
In contrast, all dma-bufs share the same anonymous inode. So while we
can count how many dma-buf fds or mappings a process has, we can't get
the size of the backing buffers or tell if two entries point to the same
dma-buf. On systems with debugfs, we can get a per-buffer breakdown of
size and reference count, but can't tell which processes are actually
holding the references to each buffer.
Replace the singleton inode with full-fledged inodes allocated by
alloc_anon_inode(). This involves creating and mounting a
mini-pseudo-filesystem for dma-buf, following the example in fs/aio.c.
