[PATCH] fix race in inotify_release

While doing some inotify stress testing, I hit the following race.  In
inotify_release(), it's possible for a watch to be removed from the lists
in between dropping dev->mutex and taking inode->inotify_mutex.  The
reference we hold prevents the watch from being freed, but not from being
removed.

Checking the dev's idr mapping will prevent a double list_del of the
same watch.
