Yes, this all works as expected.

So if your target is sensible trinity testing of fanotify, what you could
do is that you would gather all descriptors where fanotify_init()
succeeded, watch them and reply to all fanotify events. Alternatively you
could just close these descriptors - that would tear down fanotify instance
and all events will be auto-accepted.
