fs: Avoid userspace mounting anon_inodefs filesystem
anon_inodefs filesystem is a kernel internal filesystem userspace shouldn't mess with. Remove registration of it so userspace cannot even try to mount it (which would fail anyway because the filesystem is MS_NOUSER). This fixes an oops triggered by trinity when it tried mounting anon_inodefs which overwrote anon_inode_inode pointer while other CPU has been in anon_inode_getfile() between ihold() and d_instantiate(). Thus effectively creating dentry pointing to an inode without holding a reference to it.
