Jan Kara a2673b6e04 fsnotify: fix oops in fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags()
fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can race with
fsnotify_destroy_marks() so when fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() drops
mark_mutex, a mark from the list iterated by
fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can be freed and we dereference free
memory in the loop there.

Fix the problem by keeping mark_mutex held in
fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked().  The reason why we drop that mutex is that
we need to call a ->freeing_mark() callback which may acquire mark_mutex
again.  To avoid this and similar lock inversion issues, we move the call
to ->freeing_mark() callback to the kthread destroying the mark.
