Commit 85816794240b (fanotify: Fix use after free for permission events)
introduced a double free issue for permission events which are pending
in group's notification queue while group is being destroyed. These
events are freed from fanotify_handle_event() but they are not removed
from groups notification queue and thus they get freed again from
fsnotify_flush_notify().
Fix the problem by removing permission events from notification queue
before freeing them if we skip processing access response. Also expand
comments in fanotify_release() to explain group shutdown in detail.
