[PATCH 14/20] fanotify: do not send events for irregular files

[Eric Paris]

fanotify_should_send_event has a test to see if an object is a file or
directory and does not send an event otherwise.  The problem is that the
test is actually checking if the object with a mark is a file or directory,
not if the object the event happened on is a file or directory.  We should
check the latter.
