fanotify: to differ file access event from different threads
When fanotify is monitoring the whole mount point "/", and multiple
threads iterate the same direcotry, some thread will hang.
This patch let fanotify to differ access events from different
threads, prevent fanotify from merging access events from different
threads.
It also hide overflow events to reach user space.
