fsnotify: implement ordering between notifiers
fanotify needs to be able to specify that some groups get events before others. They use this idea to make sure that a hierarchical storage manager gets access to files before programs which actually use them. This is purely infrastructure. Everything will have a priority of 0, but the infrastructure will exist for it to be non-zero. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
