inotify: use GFP_NOFS under potential memory pressure

inotify can have a watchs removed under filesystem reclaim.

=================================
[ INFO: inconsistent lock state ]
2.6.31-rc2 #16
---------------------------------
inconsistent {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} -> {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} usage.
khubd/217 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes:
 (iprune_mutex){+.+.?.}, at: [<c10ba899>] invalidate_inodes+0x20/0xe3
{IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} state was registered at:
  [<c10536ab>] __lock_acquire+0x2c9/0xac4
  [<c1053f45>] lock_acquire+0x9f/0xc2

  [<c1003fdf>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10
  [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff

Two things are needed to fix this.  First we need a method to tell
fsnotify_create_event() to use GFP_NOFS and second we need to stop using
one global IN_IGNORED event and allocate them one at a time.  This solves
current issues with multiple IN_IGNORED on a queue having tail drop
problems and simplifies the allocations since we don't have to worry about
two tasks opperating on the IGNORED event concurrently.
