notify: unused event private race

Browse source 
inotify decides if private data it passed to get added to an event was
used by checking list_empty().  But it's possible that the event may
have been dequeued and the private event removed so it would look empty.

The fix is to use the return code from fsnotify_add_notify_event rather
than looking at the list.
