fsnotify: remove the global masks

Browse Source 
Because we walk the object->fsnotify_marks list instead of the global
fsnotify groups list we don't need the fsnotify_inode_mask and
fsnotify_vfsmount_mask as these were simply shortcuts in fsnotify() for
performance.  They are now extra checks, rip them out.
