How about this patch?

If prevents duplicate events due to "fake" path and addresses
the reported issue with ignore mask, but it leaves the "wrong"
paths reported with event->fd as is.

Murpphy, can you test it?

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] fsnotify: do not generate duplicate fsnotify events for
 "fake" path

Overlayfs "fake" path is used for stacked file operations on
underlying files.  Operations on files with "fake" path must not
generate events on mount marks and on parent watches, because
those events have already been generated at overlayfs layer.

The reported event->fd for inode/sb marks will have the wrong path
(overlayfs path), but we have no choice but to report them anyway.
