[PATCH 2/3] inotify: fix length reporting and size checking

From: Eric Paris
Date: Fri Aug 28 2009 - 13:20:45 EST


0db501bd0610ee0c0 introduced a regresion in that it now sends a nul
terminator but the length accounting when checking for space or
reporting to userspace did not take this into account. This corrects
all of the rounding logic.
