000285deb9 inotify: rename mark_entry to just mark
rename anything in inotify that deals with mark_entry to just be mark.  It
makes a lot more sense.

e61ce86737 fsnotify: rename fsnotify_mark_entry to just fsnotify_mark
The name is long and it serves no real purpose.  So rename
fsnotify_mark_entry to just fsnotify_mark.

528da3e9e2 inotify: inotify_destroy_mark_entry could get called twice
inotify_destroy_mark_entry could get called twice for the same mark since it
is called directly in inotify_rm_watch and when the mark is being destroyed for
another reason.  As an example assume that the file being watched was just
deleted so inotify_destroy_mark_entry would get called from the path
fsnotify_inoderemove() -> fsnotify_destroy_marks_by_inode() ->
fsnotify_destroy_mark_entry() -> inotify_destroy_mark_entry().  If this
happened at the same time as userspace tried to remove a watch via
inotify_rm_watch we could attempt to remove the mark from the idr twice and
could thus double dec the ref cnt and potentially could be in a use after
free/double free situation.  The fix is to have inotify_rm_watch use the
generic recursive safe fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry() so we are sure the
inotify_destroy_mark_entry() function can only be called one.

This patch also renames the function to inotify_ingored_remove_idr() so it is
clear what is actually going on in the function.

Hopefully this fixes:

63c882a054 inotify: reimplement inotify using fsnotify
Reimplement inotify_user using fsnotify.  This should be feature for feature
exactly the same as the original inotify_user.  This does not make any changes
to the in kernel inotify feature used by audit.  Those patches (and the eventual
removal of in kernel inotify) will come after the new inotify_user proves to be
working correctly.
