fanotify: add support for create/attrib/move/delete events
Add support for events with data type FSNOTIFY_EVENT_INODE (e.g. create/attrib/move/delete) for inode and filesystem mark types. The "inode" events do not carry enough information (i.e. path) to report event->fd, so we do not allow setting a mask for those events unless group supports reporting fid. The "inode" events are not supported on a mount mark, because they do not carry enough information (i.e. path) to be filtered by mount point. The "dirent" events (create/move/delete) report the fid of the parent directory where events took place without specifying the filename of the child. In the future, fanotify may get support for reporting filename information for those events.
