Subject: [PATCH 5/5] dnotify: Pass argument of fcntl_dirnotify as int

The interface for fcntl expects the argument passed for the command
F_DIRNOTIFY to be of type int. The current code wrongly treats it as
a long. In order to avoid access to undefined bits, we should explicitly
cast the argument to int.
