cxl: Fix coredump generation when cxl_get_fd() is used
If a process dumps core while owning a cxl file descriptor obtained
from an AFU driver (e.g. cxlflash) through the cxl_get_fd() API, the
following error occurs:
[ 868.027591] Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address ...

The root cause is that the address_space structure for the file
doesn't define a 'host' member.
When cxl allocates a file descriptor, it's using the anonymous inode
to back the file, but allocates a private address_space for each
context. The private address_space allows to track memory allocation
for each context. cxl doesn't define the 'host' member of the address
space, i.e. the inode. We don't want to define it as the anonymous
inode, since there's no longer a 1-to-1 relation between address_space
and inode.
To fix it, instead of using the anonymous inode, we introduce a simple
pseudo filesystem so that cxl can allocate its own inodes. So we now
have one inode for each file and address_space. The pseudo filesystem
is only mounted on the first allocation of a file descriptor by
cxl_get_fd().
Tested with cxlflash.
