ovl: enable fsnotify events on underlying real files
Overlayfs creates the real underlying files with fake f_path, whose f_inode is on the underlying fs and f_path on overlayfs. Those real files were open with FMODE_NONOTIFY, because fsnotify code was not prapared to handle fsnotify hooks on files with fake path correctly and fanotify would report unexpected event->fd with fake overlayfs path, when the underlying fs was being watched. Teach fsnotify to handle events on the real files, and do not set real files to FMODE_NONOTIFY to allow operations on real file (e.g. open, access, modify, close) to generate async and permission events. Because fsnotify does not have notifications on address space operations, we do not need to worry about ->vm_file not reporting events to a watched overlayfs when users are accessing a mapped overlayfs file.
