Another idea for possible future cleanup here: Everybody except for
fanotify cares only about inode marks and reporting both parent and child
only complicates things for them (and I can imagine bugs being created by
in-kernel fsnotify users because they misunderstand inode-vs-child mark
types etc.). So maybe we can create another fsnotify_group operation
similar to ->handle_event but with simpler signature for these simple
notification handlers and send_to_group() will take care of translating
the complex fsnotify() call into a sequence of these simple callbacks.
