Subject: [PATCH 17/45] fanotify: add do_fanotify_mark() helper; remove in-kernel call to syscall

Using the fs-internal do_fanotify_mark() helper allows us to get rid of
the fs-internal call to the sys_fanotify_mark() syscall.

This patch is part of a series which tries to remove in-kernel calls to
syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
