fanotify: fix possible false warning when freeing events 

When freeing permission events by fsnotify_destroy_event(), the warning
WARN_ON(!list_empty(&event->list)); may falsely hit.

This is because although fanotify_get_response() saw event->response
set, there is nothing to make sure the current CPU also sees the removal
of the event from the list.  Add proper locking around the WARN_ON() to
avoid the false warning.
