filesystem notification: create fs/notify to contain all fs notification
Creating a generic filesystem notification interface, fsnotify, which will be used by inotify, dnotify, and eventually fanotify is really starting to clutter the fs directory. This patch simply moves inotify and dnotify into fs/notify/inotify and fs/notify/dnotify respectively to make both current fs/ and future notification tidier.

277 Dnotify is a directory-based per-fd file change notification system
278 that uses signals to communicate events to user-space. There exist
279 superior alternatives, but some applications may still rely on
280 dnotify.

287 ---help---
288 Say Y here to enable inotify support. Inotify is a file change
289 notification system and a replacement for dnotify. Inotify fixes
290 numerous shortcomings in dnotify and introduces several new features
291 including multiple file events, one-shot support, and unmount
292 notification.

303 Say Y here to enable inotify support for userspace, including the
304 associated system calls. Inotify allows monitoring of both files and
305 directories via a single open fd. Events are read from the file
306 descriptor, which is also select()- and poll()-able.
