flag parameters: anon_inode_getfd extension
This patch just extends the anon_inode_getfd interface to take an additional
parameter with a flag value. The flag value is passed on to
get_unused_fd_flags in anticipation for a use with the O_CLOEXEC flag.
No actual semantic changes here, the changed callers all pass 0 for now.
