fanotify: add support for more events

Hi all,

This series is a prep work for using fanotify to monitor all
events in a file system with a single watch.

The end result is indented to be an alternative to the recursive
inotify watches scheme, which has its problems.

This first part adds support for most inotify events to fanotify
when watching a directory.

The next part will add support for watching a super block,
which is not the same as watching a mount point.

I am posting this WIP to get feedback on the idea and to find
out if there are any users out there interested in the improved
fanotify capabilities and/or in the super block monitoring
use case.

Amir Goldstein (7):
  fsnotify: pass dentry instead of inode when available
  fsnotify: annotate filename events
  fanotify: new init flag FAN_EVENT_INFO_PARENT
  fanotify: store mount point from which an inode watch was added
  fanotify: support events with data type FSNOTIFY_EVENT_DENTRY
  fanotify: add support for create/attrib/rename/delete events
  fanotify: pass filename info for filename events
