The VFS now warns if an inode flagged with S_ANON_INODE is located on a
filesystem that does not have SB_I_NOEXEC set. dmabuf inodes are
created using alloc_anon_inode(), which sets S_ANON_INODE.

This triggers a warning in path_noexec() when a dmabuf is mmapped, for
example by GStreamer's v4l2src element.

[   60.061328] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 2803 at fs/exec.c:125 path_noexec+0xa0/0xd0
...
[   60.061637]  do_mmap+0x2b5/0x680

The warning was introduced by commit 1e7ab6f67824 ("anon_inode: rework
assertions") which added enforcement that anonymous inodes must be on
filesystems with SB_I_NOEXEC set.

Fix this by setting SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV on the dmabuf filesystem
context, following the same pattern as commit ce7419b6cf23d ("anon_inode:
raise SB_I_NODEV and SB_I_NOEXEC") and commit 98f99394a104c ("secretmem:
use SB_I_NOEXEC").
