We want to emit events during page fault, and calling into fanotify
could be expensive, so add a helper to allow us to skip calling into
fanotify from page fault.  This will also be used to disable readahead
for content watched files which will be handled in a subsequent patch.

I was pondering about this and since we are trying to make these quick
checks more explicit, I'll probably drop this helper. Also the 'file &&'
part looks strange (I understand page_cache_[a]sync_ra() need it but I'd
rather handle it explicitely there).

Makes sense.
