Subject: [v6.6][PATCH 56/57] eventfs: Remove fsnotify*() functions from lookup()

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

The dentries and inodes are created when referenced in the lookup code.
There's no reason to call fsnotify_*() functions when they are created by
a reference. It doesn't make any sense.
