A secure anonymous file is one we hooked up to its own inode (as

new selinux hook gives security modules a chance to initialize, label,
and veto the creation of these secure anonymous files. Security
modules had limit ability to interact with non-secure anonymous files
due to all of these files sharing a single inode.
Again please add Al.  Also explain what the problem would be to always
use a separate inode.
