[03/19] fsnotify: check if file is actually being watched for pre-content events on open

From: Amir Goldstein <[e-mail]>

So far, we set FMODE_NONOTIFY_ flags at open time if we know that there
are no permission event watchers at all on the filesystem, but lack of
FMODE_NONOTIFY_ flags does not mean that the file is actually watched.

For pre-content events, it is possible to optimize things so that we
don't bother trying to send pre-content events if file was not watched
(through sb, mnt, parent or inode itself) on open. Set FMODE_NONOTIFY_
flags according to that.
