FAN_FS_ERROR allows events without inodes - i.e. for file system-wide
errors.  Even though fsnotify_handle_inode_event is not currently used
by fanotify, this patch protects this path to handle this new case.

Sigh.. the plot thickens.
There are three in-tree backends that implement the ->handle_inode_event()
interface.

inotify and dnotify can take NULL inode and the above will make the CREATE
events on kernfs vanish, so we cannot do that.
Sorry for not noticing this earlier when I asked for this change.

nfsd_file_fsnotify_handle_event() can most certainly not take NULL inode,
but nfsd does not watch for CREATE events.

I think what we need to do is (Jan please correct me if you think otherwise):
1. Document the handle_inode_event() interface that either inode or dir
    must be non-NULL
2. WARN_ON_ONCE(!inode && !dir) instead of just (!inode) above
3. Add WARN_ON_ONCE(!inode) before trace_nfsd_file_fsnotify_handle_event()
    in nfsd_file_fsnotify_handle_event()

Apologies, Gabriel, for having to cleanup our mess ;-)

Thanks,
Amir.

And furthermore you cannot really export kernfs :)

Yeah, like:
	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!inode && !dir))
		return 0;

And:
	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!inode))
		return 0;

Sounds like a good plan to me.
