fanotify: to differ file access event from different threads When fanotify is monitoring the whole mount point "/", and multiple threads iterate the same direcotry, some thread will hang. This patch let fanotify to differ access events from different threads, prevent fanotify from merging access events from different threads. It also hide overflow events to reach user space.
