Verify that fstat works as expected after the switch from anon_inode
to the new magic number.

From: Luca Boccassi <luca.boccassi@gmail.com>
Userspace when requesting a session via the ioctl specifies a name and
gets a FD, but then there is no ioctl to go back the other way and get
the name given a LUO session FD. This is problematic especially when
there is a userspace orchestrator that wants to check what FDs it is
handling for clients without having to do manual string scraping of
procfs, or without procfs at all.
Add a ioctl to simply get the name from an FD.

For the two cases mentioned above, we should implement a fix in the
kernel:
In luo_session_create(), we should verify that the name is at least 1
character long and at most LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_NAME_LENGTH - 1.
size_t len = strnlen(name, LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_NAME_LENGTH);
if (!len || len > LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_NAME_LENGTH - 1)
return -EINVAL;
This change should be submitted as a separate patch in your series.
Additionally, please include a cover letter in the next version
explaining the overall series. Once the cover letter is included, you
can remove the individual patch versions from the stat areas.
