Adding this field seems wrong.  There's no reference held to it, so it can only
be used if the caller holds a reference to the inode anyway.  The only user of
this field is via userfafultfd_read(), so why not just use the inode of the
struct file passed to userfaultfd_read()?

What's the point of anon_inode_getfile_secure()?  anon_inode_getfd_secure()
would work here too.
