[PATCH v4 1/5] fsnotify: use typedef fsnotify_connp_t for brevity

[Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx>]

The object marks manipulation functions fsnotify_destroy_marks()
fsnotify_find_mark() and their helpers take an argument of type
struct fsnotify_mark_connector __rcu ** to dereference the connector
pointer. use a typedef to describe this type for brevity.
