Subject: [GIT PULL] inotify, dnotify, and fsnotify fixes

Three fixes and something I should have sent during the merge window.  I
should have added the patch to the feature-removal-list stating that I
plan to drop the in kernel inotify hooks all together in .33 when I
merge the audit->fsnotify changes, but it shouldn't hurt to go in now.  

Inotify and dnotify both have fixes to stop sending extra extraneous
events.

The fsnotify patch fixes that last race people reported in the inotify
rewrite last cycle and the people seeing complaints in dmesg that
inotify might be leaking memory.  Yeah!  inotify can be stressed by over
100 simultaneous threads on a 64 way machine without problems!

The following changes since commit 2fdc246aaf9a7fa088451ad2a72e9119b5f7f029:
