Eric Paris f44aebcc56 inotify: use GFP_NOFS under potential memory pressure
inotify can have a watchs removed under filesystem reclaim.

=================================
[ INFO: inconsistent lock state ]
2.6.31-rc2 #16
---------------------------------
inconsistent {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} -> {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} usage.

Two things are needed to fix this.  First we need a method to tell
fsnotify_create_event() to use GFP_NOFS and second we need to stop using
one global IN_IGNORED event and allocate them one at a time.  This solves
current issues with multiple IN_IGNORED on a queue having tail drop
problems and simplifies the allocations since we don't have to worry about
two tasks opperating on the IGNORED event concurrently.
