Subject: struct fanotify_event_metadata

The pid field of struct fanotify_event_metadata has 64 bits which looks
excessive.  Wouldn't it make sense to make it 32 bits and swap it with
the mask field?  That would avoid the unaligned mask field, and remove
the need for the packed attribute.

Andreas.
