Just one nit below, otherwise the patch look good to me.

So for completeness I'd add FAN_MARK_INODE to FAN_ALL_MARK_FLAGS and
FAN_ALL_MARK_TYPE_FLAGS. I know it doesn't change the actual value but
logically it belongs there when you defined it...

Also one more thing to consider: Different mark types cannot be combined.
So it could save some bits in 'flags' in future if we had something like
FAN_MARK_TYPE_MASK and (flags & FAN_MARK_TYPE_MASK) would enumerate
different mark types - 0 for inode mark, FAN_MARK_MOUNT for mount mark,
FAN_MARK_FILESYSTEM for superblock mark etc. Again, currently there's no
practical difference in the values, just the names and tests for validity
would be slightly different.
