I liked the idea, but not the patch.  It left some dead return_event
code, but more importantly I'd rather keep the generic code generic if
we could.  I merged this patch instead which pushes the handling out to
fanotify_merge, so if some listener wants other complex behavior they
can handle it.

What do you think?
