Subject: [PATCH] fanotify: Fix event filtering with FAN_ONDIR set

From: "Suzuki K. Poulose" <suzuki.poulose@....com>

With FAN_ONDIR set, the user can end up getting events, which
it hasn't marked. This was revealed with fanotify04 testcase
failure on Linux-4.0-rc1, and is a regression from 3.19, revealed
with commit (66ba93c0d7fe6: fanotify: don't set FAN_ONDIR implicitly
on a marks ignored mask).

 # /opt/ltp/testcases/bin/fanotify04
 [ ... ]
fanotify04    7  TPASS  :  event generated properly for type 100000
fanotify04    8  TFAIL  :  fanotify04.c:147: got unexpected event 30
fanotify04    9  TPASS  :  No event as expected

The testcase sets the adds the following marks :
	FAN_OPEN | FAN_ONDIR for a fanotify on a dir.
Then does an open(), followed by close() of the directory and
expects to see an event FAN_OPEN(0x20). However, the fanotify
returns (FAN_OPEN|FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE(0x10)). This happens due
to the flaw in the check for event_mask in fanotify_should_send_event()
which does:

	if (event_mask & marks_mask & ~marks_ignored_mask)
		return true;

where, event_mask = (FAN_ONDIR | FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE),
       marks_mask = (FAN_ONDIR | FAN_OPEN),
       marks_ignored_mask = 0

Fix this by masking the outgoing events to the user, as we
already take care of FAN_ONDIR and FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD.
