fsnotify: don't BUG in fsnotify_destroy_mark()
Removing the parent of a watched file results in "kernel BUG at
fs/notify/mark.c:139".
To reproduce
add "-w /tmp/audit/dir/watched_file" to audit.rules
rm -rf /tmp/audit/dir
This is caused by fsnotify_destroy_mark() being called without an
extra reference taken by the caller.
Reported by Francesco Cosoleto here:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689860
Fix by removing the BUG_ON and adding a comment about not accessing mark after
the iput.
