fanotify: might_sleep() warning in fanotify_read()

Hi,

current Linus' tree is giving me

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 310 at kernel/sched/core.c:7303 __might_sleep+0x8d/0xa0()
do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [<ffffffff810904da>] prepare_to_wait+0x2a/0x90

which is because fanotify_read() is doing this:

prepare_to_wait(&group->notification_waitq, &wait, TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
mutex_lock(&group->notification_mutex);

i.e. calls mutex_lock() while it's already TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.
