Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(fs_reclaim);
lock(&group->mark_mutex);
lock(fs_reclaim);
lock(&group->mark_mutex);
*** DEADLOCK ***
[Analysis]
The inotify_new_watch() call passes through GFP_KERNEL, use memalloc_nofs_save/
memalloc_nofs_restore to make sure we don't end up with the fs reclaim dependency.
