Subject: [PATCH] -EINVAL if no fasync op for file

This patch proposes an additional error checking performed within setfl().

As a result, fcntl (fd, F_SETFL, O_ASYNC) will return -1 and set errno
to -EINVAL if filp->f_op->fasync is NULL for file specified by fd. This
is possible, for example, if fd is a descriptor returned by inotify_init().
