Subject: [GIT PULL] notification - make audit use fsnotify and drop
 inotify.c

I'm going to be the first one to admit I'm not 100% comfortable
requesting this pull, but the window is going to (already did?) close
and I want to put it out there.  I've been waiting for the VFS merge
since I knew I had conflicts with Al which couldn't be resolved already
since the VFS tree didn't exist.

These have been in linux-next for about 2 full cycles.  They do 3 main
things.

1) Fix a couple inotify problems including some of the idr memory leak
stuff
2) convert audit to use fsnotify
3) drop the old in kernel inotify altogether thus shrinking struct
inode!

I'll do more heavyweight testing, but these pass light testing that I
could do since I rebased on top of the VFS tree.
