Among the suggestions, I think this is simpler because it avoids
deep nesting the variable-sized attribute, which would have been hidden
inside fee->ffe->object_fh.buf.
One nit from me as well :)
+#define FANOTIFY_INLINE_FH(size)					\
+struct {								\
+	struct fanotify_fh object_fh;					\
+	/* Space for object_fh.buf[] - access with fanotify_fh_buf() */	\
+	unsigned char _inline_fh_buf[(size)];				\
+}
+
Can the macro perhaps take the name of the fanotify_fh member it creates?
Like:

#define FANOTIFY_INLINE_FH(name, size)

Harcoding _inline_fh_buf is fine since it isn't ever used directly but
hardcoding object_fh looks ugly to me. With that improved feel free to add:
