fanotify: fscking all notification system

fanotify is a novel file notification system which bases notification on
giving userspace both an event type (open, close, read, write) and an open
file descriptor to the object in question.  This should address a number of
races and problems with other notification systems like inotify and dnotify
and should allow the future implementation of blocking or access controlled
notification.  These are useful for on access scanners or hierachical storage
management schemes.

This patch just implements the basics of the fsnotify functions.

config FANOTIFY
bool "Filesystem wide access notification"
select FSNOTIFY
default y
---help---
Say Y here to enable fanotify suport. fanotify is a file access
notification system which differs from inotify in that it sends
and open file descriptor to the userspace listener along with
the event.
If unsure, say Y.
