fanotify: allow ignored_masks to survive modify
Some users may want to truely ignore an inode even if it has been modified. Say you are wanting a mount which contains a log file and you really don't want any notification about that file. This patch allows the listener to do that. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
