The below patch lets userspace have more control over the inodes that
inotify will watch. It introduces two new flags.
IN_ONLYDIR -- only watch the inode if it is a directory.
This is needed to avoid the race that can occur when we want to be
sure that we are watching a directory.
IN_DONT_FOLLOW -- don't follow a symlink. In combination
with IN_ONLYDIR we can make sure that we don't watch the target of
symlinks.
The issues the flags fix came up when writing the gnome-vfs inotify
backend. Default behaviour is unchanged.
