Introduce a new flag FAN_REPORT_PIDFD for fanotify_init(2) which
allows userspace applications to control whether a pidfd information
record containing a pidfd is to be returned alongside the generic
event metadata for each event.
If FAN_REPORT_PIDFD is enabled for a notification group, an additional
struct fanotify_event_info_pidfd object type will be supplied
alongside the generic struct fanotify_event_metadata for a single
event. This functionality is analogous to that of FAN_REPORT_FID in
terms of how the event structure is supplied to a userspace
application. Usage of FAN_REPORT_PIDFD with
FAN_REPORT_FID/FAN_REPORT_DFID_NAME is permitted, and in this case a
struct fanotify_event_info_pidfd object will likely follow any struct
fanotify_event_info_fid object.
Currently, the usage of the FAN_REPORT_TID flag is not permitted along
with FAN_REPORT_PIDFD as the pidfd API currently only supports the
creation of pidfds for thread-group leaders. Additionally, usage of
the FAN_REPORT_PIDFD flag is limited to privileged processes only
i.e. event listeners that are running with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN
capability. Attempting to supply the FAN_REPORT_TID initialization
flags with FAN_REPORT_PIDFD or creating a notification group without
CAP_SYS_ADMIN will result with -EINVAL being returned to the caller.
In the event of a pidfd creation error, there are two types of error
values that can be reported back to the listener. There is
FAN_NOPIDFD, which will be reported in cases where the process
responsible for generating the event has terminated prior to the event
listener being able to read the event. Then there is FAN_EPIDFD, which
will be reported when a more generic pidfd creation error has occurred
when fanotify calls pidfd_create().

Changes since v3:
* Updated the commit message to describe in when/why FAN_NOPIDFD can be
returned.
* Modified the comment above the coditional where we attempt to
preemptively check for PIDTYPE_TGID as FAN_NOPIDFD can be quite common
for one shot programs, so it's not appropriate to describe it as being
"rare".
