Subject: [PATCH v3 11/15] fsnotify: Introduce helpers to send error_events

Introduce helpers for filesystems interested in reporting FS_ERROR
events.  When notifying errors, the file system might not have an inode
to report on the error.  To support this, allow the caller to specify
the superblock to which the error applies.
