fanotify: if set by user unset FMODE_NONOTIFY before fsnotify_perm() is called
Unsetting FMODE_NONOTIFY in fsnotify_open() is too late, since fsnotify_perm()
is called before. If FMODE_NONOTIFY is set fsnotify_perm() will skip permission
checks, so a user can still disable permission checks by setting this flag
in an open() call.
This patch corrects this by unsetting the flag before fsnotify_perm is called.
