fsnotify doens't give the user anything. If someone chooses inotify or
dnotify it should build fsnotify, if they don't select one it shouldn't be
built. This patch changes fsnotify to be a def_bool=n and makes everything
else select it. Also fixes the issue people complained about on lwn where
gdm hung because they didn't have inotify and they didn't get the inotify
build option.....

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.

inotify and dnotify will both indicate that they want any event which came
from a child inode. The fix is to mask off FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD when deciding
if inotify or dnotify is interested in a given event.

entry->lock is needed to make sure entry->mask does not change while
manipulating it. In dnotify_should_send_event() we don't care if we get an
old or a new mask value out of this entry so there is no point it taking
the lock.

dnotify_should send event assigned a bool using ?true:false when computing
a bit operation. This is poitless and the bool type does this for us.

inotify needs per group information attached to events. This patch allows
groups to attach private information and implements a callback so that
information can be freed when an event is being destroyed.

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.
