fanotify: fix -EOVERFLOW with large files on 64-bit
On 64-bit systems, O_LARGEFILE is automatically added to flags inside
the open() syscall (also openat(), blkdev_open(), etc). Userspace
therefore defines O_LARGEFILE to be 0 - you can use it, but it's a
no-op. Everything should be O_LARGEFILE by default.
But: when fanotify does create_fd() it uses dentry_open(), which skips
all that. And userspace can't set O_LARGEFILE in fanotify_init()
because it's defined to 0. So if fanotify gets an event regarding a
large file, the read() will just fail with -EOVERFLOW.
This patch adds O_LARGEFILE to fanotify_init()'s event_f_flags on 64-bit
systems, using the same test as open()/openat()/etc.
