fsnotify: new fsnotify hooks and events types for access decisions

introduce a new fsnotify hook, fsnotify_perm(), which is called from the
security code.  This hook is used to allow fsnotify groups to make access
control decisions about events on the system.  We also must change the
generic fsnotify function to return an error code if we intend these hooks
to be in any way useful.
