Amir Goldstein b9a1b97725 fsnotify: create method handle_inode_event() in fsnotify_operations
The method handle_event() grew a lot of complexity due to the design of
fanotify and merging of ignore masks.

Most backends do not care about this complex functionality, so we can hide
this complexity from them.

Introduce a method handle_inode_event() that serves those backends and
passes a single inode mark and less arguments.

This change converts all backends except fanotify and inotify to use the
simplified handle_inode_event() method.  In pricipal, inotify could have
also used the new method, but that would require passing more arguments
on the simple helper (data, data_type, cookie), so we leave it with the
handle_event() method.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
