xfs: allow linkat() on O_TMPFILE files

The VFS allows an anonymous temporary file to be named at a later time via a linkat() syscall. The inodes for O_TMPFILE files are are marked with a special flag I_LINKABLE and have a zero link count.

To support this in XFS, xfs_link() detects if this flag I_LINKABLE is set and behaves appropriately when detected. So in this case, its transaciton reservation takes into account the additional overhead of removing the inode from the unlinked list. Then the inode is removed from the unlinked list and the directory entry is added. Finally its link count is bumped accordingly.

xfs: add O_TMPFILE support

Add two functions xfs_create_tmpfile() and xfs_vn_tmpfile() to support O_TMPFILE file creation.

In contrast to xfs_create(), xfs_create_tmpfile() has a different log reservation to the regular file creation because there is no directory modification, and doesn't check if an entry can be added to the directory, but the reservation quotas is required appropriately, and finally its inode is added to the unlinked list.

xfs_vn_tmpfile() add one O_TMPFILE method to VFS interface and directly invoke xfs_create_tmpfile().
