fsnotify: add marks to inodes so groups can interpret how to handle those inodes

This patch creates a way for fsnotify groups to attach marks to inodes.
These marks have little meaning to the generic fsnotify infrastructure
and thus their meaning should be interpreted by the group that attached
them to the inode's list.

dnotify and inotify  will make use of these markings to indicate which
inodes are of interest to their respective groups.  But this implementation
has the useful property that in the future other listeners could actually
use the marks for the exact opposite reason, aka to indicate which inodes
it had NO interest in.

+ * fsnotify inode mark locking/lifetime/and refcnting
+ *
+ * REFCNT:
+ * The mark->refcnt tells how many "things" in the kernel currently are
+ * referencing this object.  The object typically will live inside the kernel
+ * with a refcnt of 2, one for each list it is on (i_list, g_list).  Any task
+ * which can find this object holding the appropriete locks, can take a reference
+ * and the object itself is guarenteed to survive until the reference is dropped.
+ *
+ * LOCKING:
+ * There are 3 spinlocks involved with fsnotify inode marks and they MUST
+ * be taken in order as follows:
+ *
+ * entry->lock
+ * group->mark_lock
+ * inode->i_lock
+ *
+ * entry->lock protects 2 things, entry->group and entry->inode.  You must hold
+ * that lock to dereference either of these things (they could be NULL even with
+ * the lock)
+ *
+ * group->mark_lock protects the mark_entries list anchored inside a given group
+ * and each entry is hooked via the g_list.  It also sorta protects the
+ * free_g_list, which when used is anchored by a private list on the stack of the
+ * task which held the group->mark_lock.
+ *
+ * inode->i_lock protects the i_fsnotify_mark_entries list anchored inside a
+ * given inode and each entry is hooked via the i_list. (and sorta the
+ * free_i_list)
+ *
+ *
+ * LIFETIME:
+ * Inode marks survive between when they are added to an inode and when their
+ * refcnt==0.
+ *
+ * The inode mark can be cleared for a number of different reasons including:
+ * - The inode is unlinked for the last time.  (fsnotify_inode_remove)
+ * - The inode is being evicted from cache. (fsnotify_inode_delete)
+ * - The fs the inode is on is unmounted.  (fsnotify_inode_delete/fsnotify_unmount_inodes)
+ * - Something explicitly requests that it be removed.  (fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry)
+ * - The fsnotify_group associated with the mark is going away and all such marks
+ *   need to be cleaned up. (fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group)
+ *
+ * Worst case we are given an inode and need to clean up all the marks on that
+ * inode.  We take i_lock and walk the i_fsnotify_mark_entries safely.  For each
+ * mark on the list we take a reference (so the mark can't disappear under us).
+ * We remove that mark form the inode's list of marks and we add this mark to a
+ * private list anchored on the stack using i_free_list;  At this point we no
+ * longer fear anything finding the mark using the inode's list of marks.
+ *
+ * We can safely and locklessly run the private list on the stack of everything
+ * we just unattached from the original inode.  For each mark on the private list
+ * we grab the mark-> and can thus dereference mark->group and mark->inode.  If
+ * we see the group and inode are not NULL we take those locks.  Now holding all
+ * 3 locks we can completely remove the mark from other tasks finding it in the
+ * future.  Remember, 10 things might already be referencing this mark, but they
+ * better be holding a ref.  We drop our reference we took before we unhooked it
+ * from the inode.  When the ref hits 0 we can free the mark.
+ *
+ * Very similarly for freeing by group, except we use free_g_list.
+ *
+ * This has the very interesting property of being able to run concurrently with
+ * any (or all) other directions.
