a092ee20fd fsnotify: allow groups to set freeing_mark to null
Most fsnotify listeners (all but inotify) do not care about marks being
freed.  Allow groups to set freeing_mark to null and do not call any
function if it is set that way.

164bc61951 fsnotify: handle filesystem unmounts with fsnotify marks
When an fs is unmounted with an fsnotify mark entry attached to one of its
inodes we need to destroy that mark entry and we also (like inotify) send
an unmount event.

1ef5f13c6c fsnotify: fsnotify marks on inodes pin them in core
This patch pins any inodes with an fsnotify mark in core.  The idea is that
as soon as the mark is removed from the inode->fsnotify_mark_entries list
the inode will be iput.  In reality is doesn't quite work exactly this way.
The igrab will happen when the mark is added to an inode, but the iput will
happen when the inode pointer is NULL'd inside the mark.

It's possible that 2 racing things will try to remove the mark from
different directions.  One may try to remove the mark because of an
explicit request and one might try to remove it because the inode was
deleted.  It's possible that the removal because of inode deletion will
remove the mark from the inode's list, but the removal by explicit request
will actually set entry->inode == NULL; and call the iput.  This is safe.

c28f7e56e9 fsnotify: parent event notification
inotify and dnotify both use a similar parent notification mechanism.  We
add a generic parent notification mechanism to fsnotify for both of these
to use.  This new machanism also adds the dentry flag optimization which
exists for inotify to dnotify.

3be25f49b9 fsnotify: add marks to inodes so groups can interpret how to handle those inodes
This patch creates a way for fsnotify groups to attach marks to inodes.
These marks have little meaning to the generic fsnotify infrastructure
and thus their meaning should be interpreted by the group that attached
them to the inode's list.

dnotify and inotify  will make use of these markings to indicate which
inodes are of interest to their respective groups.  But this implementation
has the useful property that in the future other listeners could actually
use the marks for the exact opposite reason, aka to indicate which inodes
it had NO interest in.
