Subject: [PATCH 1/3] inotify: move wd lookup out of update_existing_watch()

Currently, inotify_update_existing_watch() first looks up the requested
wd before modifying it. This makes the function unsuitable for cases
where we already know the wd. Change the behavior to directly accept wd
as input and make the only caller do the lookup themself.
