Subject: [PATCH v2 01/14] fsnotify: Don't call insert hook for overflow events

Overflow events are not mergeable, so they are not hashed_events.  But,
when failing inside fsnotify_add_event, for lack of space,
fsnotify_add_event() still calls the insert hook, which adds the
overflow event to the merge list.

Avoid calling the insert hook when adding an overflow event.

Fixes: 94e00d28a680 ("fsnotify: use hash table for faster events merge")
