aabb8fdb41 fs: avoid I_NEW inodes
To be on the safe side, it should be less fragile to exclude I_NEW inodes
from inode list scans by default (unless there is an important reason to
have them).

Normally they will get excluded (eg.  by zero refcount or writecount etc),
however it is a bit fragile for list walkers to know exactly what parts of
the inode state is set up and valid to test when in I_NEW.  So along these
lines, move I_NEW checks upward as well (sometimes taking I_FREEING etc
checks with them too -- this shouldn't be a problem should it?)

inotify_handle_get_wd() does idr_pre_get() which does a
kmem_cache_alloc() without __GFP_FS - and is hence deadlockable under
extreme MM pressure.

272eb01485 filesystem notification: create fs/notify to contain all fs notification
Creating a generic filesystem notification interface, fsnotify, which will be
used by inotify, dnotify, and eventually fanotify is really starting to
clutter the fs directory.  This patch simply moves inotify and dnotify into
fs/notify/inotify and fs/notify/dnotify respectively to make both current fs/
and future notification tidier.
