Linus Torvalds db3d841ac9 fs/pidfs: make 'lsof' happy with our inode changes
pidfs started using much saner inodes in commit b28ddcc32d ("pidfs:
convert to path_from_stashed() helper"), but that exposed the fact that
lsof had some knowledge of just how odd our old anon_inode usage was.

For example, legacy anon_inodes hadn't even initialized the inode type
in the inode mode, so everything had a type of zero.

So sane tools like 'stat' would report these files as "weird file", but
'lsof' instead used that (together with the name of the link in proc) to
notice that it's an anonymous inode, and used it to detect pidfd files.

Let's keep our internal new sane inode model, but mask the file type
bits at 'stat()' time in the getattr() function we already have, and by
making the dentry name match what lsof expects too.

This keeps our internal models sane, but should make user space see the
same old odd behavior.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
