fsnotify: generic notification queue and waitq

Browse Source 
inotify needs to do asyc notification in which event information is stored
on a queue until the listener is ready to receive it.  This patch
implements a generic notification queue for inotify (and later fanotify) to
store events to be sent at a later time.

/*
* Basic idea behind the notification queue: An fsnotify group (like inotify)
* sends the userspace notification about events asyncronously some time after
* the event happened. When inotify gets an event it will need to add that
* event to the group notify queue. Since a single event might need to be on
* multiple group's notification queues we can't add the event directly to each
* queue and instead add a small "event_holder" to each queue. This event_holder
* has a pointer back to the original event. Since the majority of events are
* going to end up on one, and only one, notification queue we embed one
* event_holder into each event. This means we have a single allocation instead
* of always needing two. If the embedded event_holder is already in use by
* another group a new event_holder (from fsnotify_event_holder_cachep) will be
* allocated and used.
