Pre-allocate slots for file system errors to have greater chances of
succeeding, since error events can happen in GFP_NOFS context.  This
patch introduces a group-wide mempool of error events, shared by all
FAN_FS_ERROR marks in this group.

For now, just allocate 128 positions.  A future patch allows this
array to be dynamically resized when a new mark is added.

Changes since v7:
  - Expand limit to 128. (Amir)
I am not sure if Jan was also on board with this request but otherwise

I don't really care. I don't see a strong reason to go above original 32
(so I'd slightly prefer that) but OTOH I also don't think those few KB per
notification group using FS_ERROR matter since I don't expect such groups
to be that common.

Perhaps FANOTIFY_DEFAULT_FEE_POOL_SIZE would better describe what this
constant is about?

Otherwise feel free to add:
