Subject: [PATCH 1/1] fanotify: fix -EOVERFLOW with large files on 64-bit

On 64-bit systems, O_LARGEFILE is automatically added to flags inside
the open() syscall (also openat(), blkdev_open(), etc).
Userspace therefore defines O_LARGEFILE to be 0 - you can use it,
but it's a no-op. Everything should be O_LARGEFILE by default.

But: when fanotify does create_fd() it uses dentry_open(), which skips
all that. And userspace can't set O_LARGEFILE in fanotify_init() because
it's defined to 0. So if fanotify gets an event regarding a large file,
the read() will just fail with -EOVERFLOW.

This patch adds O_LARGEFILE to fanotify_init()'s event_f_flags on 64-bit
systems, using the same test as open()/openat()/etc.

Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696821
