Revert "fsnotify: store struct file not struct path"

Browse Source 
This reverts commit 3bcf3860a4 (and the
accompanying commit c1e5c95402 "vfs/fsnotify: fsnotify_close can delay
the final work in fput" that was a horribly ugly hack to make it work at
all).

The 'struct file' approach not only causes that disgusting hack, it
somehow breaks pulseaudio, probably due to some other subtlety with
f_count handling.

Fix up various conflicts due to later fsnotify work.
