Subject: [PATCH v8 23/32] fanotify: Wrap object_fh inline space in a creator macro

fanotify_error_event would duplicate this sequence of declarations that
already exist elsewhere with a slight different size.  Create a helper
macro to avoid code duplication.

Among the suggestions, I think this is simpler because it avoids
deep nesting the variable-sized attribute, which would have been hidden
inside fee->ffe->object_fh.buf.

It also avoids touching the allocators, which are nicely hidden inside
helper KMEM_CACHE() macros that hides several parameters.
