Possible unsafe locking scenario:

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.
That any notification group needs to use NOFS allocations to be safe
against this race so we can just remove FSNOTIFY_GROUP_NOFS and
unconditionally do memalloc_nofs_save() in fsnotify_group_lock().
