All fsnotify hooks set the FS_ISDIR flag for events that happen on directory victim inodes except for fsnotify_perm(). Add the missing FS_ISDIR flag in fsnotify_perm() hook and let fanotify_group_event_mask() check the FS_ISDIR flag instead of checking if path argument is a directory. This is needed for fanotify support for event types that do not carry path information.
