[PATCH] fs: inotify: systemd needs it so make it depend on CONFIG_EMBEDDED

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I have a little microbenchmark that sits and does write() in a loop.
The number one kernel function in the profiles is __srcu_read_lock()
from fsnotify().  I decided to turn off INOTIFY in order to see what
the potential from optimizing this path would be.  I ended up with
a system at the rescue console as systemd complained that dependencies
were not met mounting some non-root filesystems:

	systemd: inotify_init1() failed: Function not implemented
	systemd: Dependency failed for Mark the need to relabel after reboot.
	systemd: Triggering OnFailure= dependencies of local-fs.target.
	systemd: inotify_init1() failed: Function not implemented
	systemd: Dependency failed for /gcc.

It looks like CONFIG_INOTIFY is now a critical part of any system
that wants to both use systemd and boot.  Let's make it depend
on CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
