kernfs: make kernfs_notify() trigger inotify events too

kernfs_notify() is used to indicate either new data is available or
the content of a file has changed.  It currently only triggers poll
which may not be the most convenient to monitor especially when there
are a lot to monitor.  Let's hook it up to fsnotify too so that the
events can be monitored via inotify too.

fsnotify_modify() requires file * but kernfs_notify() doesn't have any
specific file associated; however, we can walk all super_blocks
associated with a kernfs_root and as kernfs always associate one ino
with inode and one dentry with an inode, it's trivial to look up the
dentry associated with a given kernfs_node.  As any active monitor
would pin dentry, just looking up existing dentry is enough.  This
patch looks up the dentry associated with the specified kernfs_node
and generates events equivalent to fsnotify_modify().

Note that as fsnotify doesn't provide fsnotify_modify() equivalent
which can be called with dentry, kernfs_notify() directly calls
fsnotify_parent() and fsnotify().  It might be better to add a wrapper
in fsnotify.h instead.
