"open time" would be when /proc/X/fdinfo/Y was opened in
seq_fdinfo_open(), and allocating a file_handle there seems a bit odd.

We can allocate in fs/notify/fdinfo.c:show_fdinfo() which is
the earliest 'notify' specific code to run.  There is no
opportunity to return an error but GFP_KERNEL allocations under 1 page
never fail..

This patch allocates a single buffer for all inodes reported for a given
inotify fdinfo, and if the allocation files, the filehandle is silently
left blank.  More surgery would be needed to be able to return an error.

Is that at all suitable?

Subject: fs/notify: don't put file handle buffer on stack.

A file handle buffer is not tiny, and could need to be larger in future,
so it isn't safe to allocate one on the stack.  Instead, we need to
kmalloc().

There is no way to return an error status from a ->show_fdinfo()
function, so if the kmalloc fails, we silently exclude the filehandle
from the output.  As it is at the end of line, this shouldn't
upset parsing too much.
