Eric Paris c28f7e56e9 fsnotify: parent event notification
inotify and dnotify both use a similar parent notification mechanism.  We
add a generic parent notification mechanism to fsnotify for both of these
to use.  This new machanism also adds the dentry flag optimization which
exists for inotify to dnotify.
