Patch from Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Fixes the lock contention over file_list_lock by simply removing the unneeded anon_list. So filp allocation does not need to take a global lock any more. The use of a spinlock to protect files_stat.nr_files is a bit awkward, but the alternative is a custom sysctl handler, and isn't much more efficient anyway.
