Before we go into technical details of implementation can you tell me more
details about the usecase? Why do you need to check specifically for unlink
/ delete?

Also on the design side of things: Do you realize these permission events
will not be usable together with other permission events like
FAN_OPEN_PERM? Because these require notification group returning file
descriptors while your events will return file handles... I guess we should
somehow fix that.
