This patch set implements the FAN_REPORT_NAME and FAN_REPORT_DIR_FID

I previously posted v3 of prep patch series [1] and v4 of follow up
series [2].  Since then you pick up several prep patches, so this
posting includes the rest of the prep patches along with the followup
patches with most of your comments addressed.

Regarding the use of flag FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD and the TYPE_CHILD mark
iterator, I did not change that because I was not sure about it and it
is an internal implementation detail that we can change later.
But the discussion about it made me realize that dnotify event handler
wasn't properly adapted, so I added a patch to fix it.

The patches are available on github [3] based on your fsnotify branch.
man-pages [4] LTP tests [5] and a demo [6] are also available.

Phew! So I went through the patches. I didn't find any bug besides couple
of typos I've fixed and then couple of things I've flagged at individual
patches (which I've fixed up locally as well). There's just that
ignore_mask handling issue outstanding. Overall I have to say I'm unhappy
about the complexity of juggling with dir/inode/child, dirfh vs objfh, etc.
I acknowledge that the stuff is at least well commented so I was able to
grok it but still... That being said I don't have a great idea how to
simplify all this so at this point I'm ok with merging things as they are
but once all the functionality is in I want to have a look at how to
simplify all the special cases.

Anyway, for now, thanks for your persistence and work when developing this
series!
