[PATCH v3 09/15] fsnotify: Always run the merge hook

[Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@collabora.com>]

FS_FAN_ERROR must be able to merge events even in the short window after
they've been unqueued but prior to being read.  Move the list_empty
check into the merge hooks, such that merge() is always invoked if
existing.
