currently all marking is done by functions in inode-mark.c.  Some of this
is pretty generic and should be instead done in a generic function and we
should only put the inode specific code in inode-mark.c

Pass the process identifiers of the triggering processes to fanotify
listeners: this information is useful for event filtering and logging.

Currently if 2 events are going to be merged on the notication queue with
different masks the second event will be cloned and will replace the first
event.  However if this notification queue is the only place referencing
the event in question there is no reason not to just update the event in
place.  We can tell this if the event->refcnt == 1.  Since we hold a
reference for each queue this event is on we know that when refcnt == 1
this is the only queue.  The other concern is that it might be about to be
added to a new queue, but this can't be the case since fsnotify holds a
reference on the event until it is finished adding it to queues.

Instead of just merging fanotify events if they are exactly the same, merge
notification events with different masks.  To do this we have to clone the
old event, update the mask in the new event with the new merged mask, and
put the new event in place of the old event.

fanotify listeners get an open file descriptor to the object in question so
the ordering of operations is not as important as in other notification
systems.  inotify will drop events if the last event in the event FIFO is
the same as the current event.  This patch will drop fanotify events if
they are the same as another event anywhere in the event FIFO.

fanotify is a novel file notification system which bases notification on
giving userspace both an event type (open, close, read, write) and an open
file descriptor to the object in question.  This should address a number of
races and problems with other notification systems like inotify and dnotify
and should allow the future implementation of blocking or access controlled
notification.  These are useful for on access scanners or hierachical storage
management schemes.

This patch just implements the basics of the fsnotify functions.
