fanotify: flush outstanding perm requests on group destroy

Browse source 
When an fanotify listener is closing it may cause a deadlock between the
listener and the original task doing an fs operation.  If the original task
is waiting for a permissions response it will be holding the srcu lock.  The
listener cannot clean up and exit until after that srcu lock is syncronized.
Thus deadlock.  The fix introduced here is to stop accepting new permissions
events when a listener is shutting down and to grant permission for all
outstanding events.  Thus the original task will eventually release the srcu
lock and the listener can complete shutdown.
