[PATCH 09/14] fsinfo: Provide notification overrun handling support [ver #18]

Provide support for the handling of an overrun in a watch queue.  In the
event that an overrun occurs, the watcher needs to be able to find out what
it was that they missed.  To this end, previous patches added event
counters to the superblock and mount object structures.

To make them accessible, they can be accessed using fsinfo() and the
FSINFO_ATTR_MOUNT_INFO attribute.

	struct fsinfo_mount_info {
		__u64	mnt_unique_id;
		__u32	sb_changes;
		__u32	sb_notifications;
		__u32	mnt_attr_changes;
		__u32	mnt_topology_changes;
		__u32	mnt_subtree_notifications;
	...
	};

There's a uniquifier and five event counters:

 (1) mnt_unique_id - This is an effectively non-repeating ID given to each
     mount object on creation.  This allows the caller to check that the
     mount ID didn't get reused (the 32-bit mount ID is more efficient to
     look up).

 (2) sb_changes - Count of superblock configuration changes.

 (3) sb_notifications - Count of other superblock notifications (errors,
     quota overruns, etc.).

 (4) mnt_attr_changes - Count of attribute changes on a mount object.

 (5) mnt_topology_changes - Count of alterations to the mount tree that
     affected this node.

 (6) mnt_subtree_notifications - Count of mount object event notifications
     that were generated in the subtree rooted at this node.  This excludes
     events generated on this node itself and does not include superblock
     events.

The counters are also accessible through the FSINFO_ATTR_MOUNT_CHILDREN
attribute, where a list of all the children of a mount can be scanned.  The
record returned for each child includes the sum of the above five counters
for that child.  An additional record is added at the end for the queried
object and that also includes the sum of its five counters
