Why do you check refcnt again? Does it mean its life cycle does not end
when it hits zero and should be freed only under lock, which in turn
means it may be accessed under that lock and zero refcnt? Please
describe this locking in more details.

This inode does not seem to be grabbed previously, or I missed that
part? What prevents it from being freed?

Since entry was not grabbed in the above locked list, what prevents it
to be freed before fsnotify_get_mark() executed? Could that get moved
under lock?

That's what I talked about previously, what if this inode will be
released after inode unlocked?
