[PATCH] fanotify: fix support of large files

[Justin Maggard]

Opening a file of >2GB in an area of the filesystem that has been marked for
fanotify events currently results in an EOVERFLOW error.  This is particularly
problematic if you are using fanotify permissions checking, because it prevents
large files from being opened at all.  Fix this by setting the O_LARGEFILE flag
on the new file handle.
