To avoid duplicate events we need to "suppress" the local events generated
by the guest kernel for FUSE inodes. To achieve this we introduce a new
inode operation "fuse_fsnotify_event". Any VFS operation on a FUSE inode
that calls the fsnotify subsystem will call this function.
Specifically, the new inode operation "fuse_fsnotify_event" is called by
the "fsnotify" wrapper function in fsnotify.c, if the inode is a FUSE
inode. In turn "fuse_fsnotify_event" will check if the remote inotify is
enabled and if yes the event will be dropped, since the local inotify
events should be "suppressed". If the remote inotify is not enabled the
event will go through as expected.
In the case where the remote inotify is enabled, FUSE will directly call
"__fsnotify" to send the remote events to user space and not the "fsnotify"
wrapper.
