filesystem notification: create fs/notify to contain all fs notification Creating a generic filesystem notification interface, fsnotify, which will be used by inotify, dnotify, and eventually fanotify is really starting to clutter the fs directory. This patch simply moves inotify and dnotify into fs/notify/inotify and fs/notify/dnotify respectively to make both current fs/ and future notification tidier.

Dnotify is a directory-based per-fd file change notification system
that uses signals to communicate events to user-space. There exist
superior alternatives, but some applications may still rely on
dnotify.
If unsure, say Y.
