mainlining shenanigans

dirent modification events (create/delete/move) do not carry the child entry name/inode information. Instead, we report FAN_ONDIR for mkdir/rmdir so user can differentiate them from creat/unlink. This is consistent with inotify reporting IN_ISDIR with dirent events and is useful for implementing recursive directory tree watcher. We avoid merging dirent events referring to subdirs with dirent events referring to non subdirs, otherwise, user won't be able to tell from a mask FAN_CREATE|FAN_DELETE|FAN_ONDIR if it describes mkdir+unlink pair or rmdir+create pair of events. For backward compatibility and consistency, do not report FAN_ONDIR to user in legacy fanotify mode (reporting fd) and report FAN_ONDIR to user in FAN_REPORT_FID mode for all event types.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
