filesystem notification: create fs/notify to contain all fs notification
Creating a generic filesystem notification interface, fsnotify, which will be used by inotify, dnotify, and eventually fanotify is really starting to clutter the fs directory. This patch simply moves inotify and dnotify into fs/notify/inotify and fs/notify/dnotify respectively to make both current fs/ and future notification tidier.

+ ---help---
+ Say Y here to enable inotify support. Inotify is a file change
+ notification system and a replacement for dnotify. Inotify fixes
+ numerous shortcomings in dnotify and introduces several new features
+ including multiple file events, one-shot support, and unmount
+ notification.

+ default y
+ ---help---
+ Say Y here to enable inotify support for userspace, including the
+ associated system calls. Inotify allows monitoring of both files and
+ directories via a single open fd. Events are read from the file
+ descriptor, which is also select()- and poll()-able.
