fanotify: fix races when adding/removing marks
For both adding an event to an existing mark and destroying a mark we first have to find it via fsnotify_find_[inode|vfsmount]_mark(). But getting the mark and adding an event (or destroying it) is not done atomically. This opens a race where a thread is about to destroy a mark while another thread still finds the same mark and adds an event to its mask although it will be destroyed. Another race exists concerning the excess of a groups number of marks limit: When a mark is added the number of group marks is checked against the max number of marks per group and increased afterwards. Since check and increment is also not done atomically, this may result in 2 or more processes passing the check at the same time and increasing the number of group marks above the allowed limit. With this patch both races are avoided by doing the concerning operations with the groups mark mutex locked.
