The way you use this helper from ext4_fsnotify_error() it would make more sense
to name the inode argument 'inode' and call:

       fsnotify(FS_ERROR, &report, FSNOTIFY_EVENT_ERROR, NULL, NULL, inode, 0);

Also, if we stick with returning ENOMEM instead of overflow event (I
don't think we should),
then this helper should return the error as well.

Thanks,
Amir.
