Looks mostly good, just one nit below:

It is odd that sb marks are allocated with zalloc while other marks with
alloc. Why is that? It is errorprone to have this different among mark
types as somebody may mistakenly assume a mark is zeroed when it actually is
not. So please either use kmem_cache_alloc() for sb mark as well and zero
out by hand what you need, or do a cleanup patch that uses zalloc across
all of dnotify, inotify, fanotify (I can see kernel/audit_* users already
use zalloc) and drop zeroing from fsnotify_init_mark(). Thanks!
