S_KERNEL_FILE is grossly misnamed.  We have plenty of files hold open by
the kernel kernel using filp_open.  This flag OTOH signals the inode as
being a special snowflage that cachefiles holds onto that can't be
unlinked becaue of ..., erm, pixie dust.  So clearly mark it as such.

That's a much better name IMO.
