    fsnotify: replace inode pointer with an object id
    
    [ Upstream commit dfc2d2594e4a79204a3967585245f00644b8f838 ]
    
    The event inode field is used only for comparison in queue merges and
    cannot be dereferenced after handle_event(), because it does not hold a
    refcount on the inode.
    
    Replace it with an abstract id to do the same thing.
