If fsnotify_prepare_user_wait() fails, we leave the event on the notification list. Which will result in a warning in fsnotify_destroy_event() and later use-after-free. Instead of adding a new helper to remove the event from the list in this case, I opted to move the prepare/finish up into fanotify_handle_event(). This will allow these to be moved further out into the generic code later, and perhaps let us move to non-sleeping RCU.
