I already ask rjw to add it to the regression list.

I've spent the last 4 days hunting this issue down, and have a reliable
reproducer now.  I have 2 patches which stop the problem but I can only
explain why they stop the problem, but not identify what the root
problem is.  If I don't figure it out tomorrow I'm going to send them
both to linus (with explanations why they solve the issues) but I'm not
giving up until I figure out exactly what's going on and can solve this
race the right way.

I really want to run my torture test against the old inotify since I'm
using the same logic, I just actually check all over the place to make
sure everything stays consistent since these are not performance hot
paths.....
