Yeah, that's better.

Hrm, I don't like either of these two options too much as IMHO it's rather
hard to understand what's going on. If we want to avoid the duplication,
then I see two relatively clean ways to do it:

a) Remove _inline_fh_buf from fanotify_fid_event (probably just leave a
comment there explaining how space is preallocated) and make sure kmem
cache for fanotify_fid_event has FANOTIFY_INLINE_FH_LEN in each object for
the fh, similarly error event would have MAX_HANDLE_SZ in the object.

b) Define a macro that expands to a struct definition with appropriate
buffer length.

I guess a) seems a bit more obvious to me but I can live with both...
