The ignore mask logic in send_to_group() does not match the logic in fanotify_should_send_event(). In the latter, a vfsmount mark ignore mask precedes an inode mark mask and in the former, it does not. That difference may cause events to be sent to fanotify backend for no reason. Fix the logic in send_to_group() to match that of fanotify_should_send_event().
