Looking back, when I added the insert() callback, it might have been wiser to
rename fsnotify_add_event() to fsnotify_insert_event() add a wrapper:

static inline int fsnotify_add_event(group, event, merge) {
    return fsnotify_insert_event(group, event, merge, NULL);
}

But the two call sites did not seem to justify it.
Perhaps with the growing list of NULL arguments it is time to
reconsider this small tidy up?
Not critical though.

Thanks,
Amir.
