There's a lot of common code in inode and mount marks handling.  Factor it
out to a common helper function.

fsnotify() needs to merge inode and mount marks lists when notifying
groups about events so that ignore masks from inode marks are reflected
in mount mark notifications and groups are notified in proper order
(according to priorities).

Currently the sorting of the lists done by fsnotify_add_inode_mark() /
fsnotify_add_vfsmount_mark() and fsnotify() differed which resulted
ignore masks not being used in some cases.

Fix the problem by always using the same comparison function when
sorting / merging the mark lists.

Thanks to Heinrich Schuchardt for improvements of my patch.

The global fsnotify groups lists were invented as a way to increase the
performance of fsnotify by shortcutting events which were not interesting.
With the changes to walk the object lists rather than global groups lists
these shortcuts are not useful.

Because we walk the object-&gt;fsnotify_marks list instead of the global
fsnotify groups list we don't need the fsnotify_inode_mask and
fsnotify_vfsmount_mask as these were simply shortcuts in fsnotify() for
performance.  They are now extra checks, rip them out.

Currently reading the inode-&gt;i_fsnotify_marks or
vfsmount-&gt;mnt_fsnotify_marks lists are protected by a spinlock on both the
read and the write side.  This patch protects the read side of those lists
with a new single srcu.

<title>fsnotify: allow marks to not pin inodes in core</title>

<content type='text'>
inotify marks must pin inodes in core.  dnotify doesn't technically need to
since they are closed when the directory is closed.  fanotify also need to
pin inodes in core as it works today.  But the next step is to introduce
the concept of 'ignored masks' which is actually a mask of events for an
inode of no interest.  I claim that these should be liberally sent to the
kernel and should not pin the inode in core.  If the inode is brought back
in the listener will get an event it may have thought excluded, but this is
not a serious situation and one any listener should deal with.

This patch lays the ground work for non-pinning inode marks by using lazy
inode pinning.  We do not pin a mark until it has a non-zero mask entry.  If a
listener new sets a mask we never pin the inode.

Per-mount watches allow groups to listen to fsnotify events on an entire
mount.  This patch simply adds and initializes the fields needed in the
vfsmount struct to make this happen.

Much like inode-mark.c has all of the code dealing with marks on inodes
this patch adds a vfsmount-mark.c which has similar code but is intended
for marks on vfsmounts.

currently all marking is done by functions in inode-mark.c.  Some of this
is pretty generic and should be instead done in a generic function and we
should only put the inode specific code in inode-mark.c
