Subject: fsnotify: add a way to stop queueing events on group shutdown
From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>
commit 12703dbfeb15402260e7554d32a34ac40c233990 upstream.
Implement a function that can be called when a group is being shutdown
to stop queueing new events to the group. Fanotify will use this.
Fixes: 5838d4442bd5 ("fanotify: fix double free of pending permission events")
