This precaution serves the new fanotify_event_info_fid format well:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=154375073318106&w=2
but also conflicts with my series.

I can weave your patch into my series and add a similar sanity check in
copy_fid_to_user() or if Jan applies your patch and has more comments
on my v4 series, I'll rebase on top of that.

Thanks,
Amir.
