[PATCH v2 4/7] fsnotify: skip unattached marks

[Miklos Szeredi]

After having gone through a ref-unref for the mark, dereferencing the group
(e.g. in fsnotify_compare_groups()) is wrong since the group may be
completely gone by that time.  So before continuing to traverse the mark
list, check if the mark is still attached.

This is done in the generic case, not just when we go through
fsnotify_prepare_user_wait()/fsnotify_finish_user_wait(), otherwise it
would introduce unnecessary complexity.  And it shouldn't hurt to skip
unattached marks anyway ("flags" is very likely in same cacheline as
neighbouring "ignored_mask", which is pulled in anyway).
