fsnotify: store struct file not struct path
Al explains that calling dentry_open() with a mnt/dentry pair is only garunteed to be safe if they are already used in an open struct file. To make sure this is the case don't store and use a struct path in fsnotify, always use a struct file. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
