[RFC PATCH 7/7] virtiofs: Add support for handling the remote fsnotify notifications

[Ioannis Angelakopoulos]

FUSE and specifically virtiofs should be able to handle the asynchronous
event notifications originating from the FUSE server. To this end we add
the FUSE_NOTIFY_FSNOTIFY switch case to the "virtio_fs_handle_notify" in
fs/fuse/virtio_fs.c to handle these specific notifications.

The event notification contains the information that a user space
application would receive when monitoring an inode for events. The
information is the mask of the inode watch, a file name corresponding to
the inode the remote event was generated for and finally, the inotify
cookie.

Then a new event should be generated corresponding to the event
notification received from the FUSE server. Specifically, FUSE in the guest
kernel will call the "__fsnotify" function in fs/notify/fsnotify.c to send
the event to user space.
