inotify: reimplement inotify using fsnotify

Reimplement inotify_user using fsnotify.  This should be feature for feature
exactly the same as the original inotify_user.  This does not make any changes
to the in kernel inotify feature used by audit.  Those patches (and the eventual
removal of in kernel inotify) will come after the new inotify_user proves to be
working correctly.
