fsnotify: let connector point to an abstract object
Make the code to attach/detach a connector to object more generic by letting the fsnotify connector point to an abstract fsnotify_connp_t. Code that needs to dereference an inode or mount object now uses the helpers fsnotify_conn_{inode,mount}. Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
