For events reporting fid of parent (create/delete/move), we report
FAN_ONDIR, so user can differentiate mkdir/rmdir from creat/unlink events.
Unlike legacy fanotify events (open/access/close), mkdir/rmdir will be
reported regardless if user requested FAN_ONDIR, but the FAN_ONDIR flag
itself will only be reported if the user asked for it.
For backward compatibility, we do not report FAN_ONDIR to user for legacy
fanotify events. While it is not documented that this event flags is NOT
reported, it is better to be on the safe side and preserve the existing
behavior.
At the moment the new event FAN_ATTRIB (setattr/setxattr) behaves like
the legacy events, because like them, it reports the fid of the victim,
so user has a way to identify the victim as a directory. Not sure if
FAN_ATTRIB should behave like filename events w.r.t FAN_ONDIR and not
sure whether legacy events behavior should change with FAN_REPORT_FID.
