    Commit e43de7f0 ("fsnotify: optimize the case of no marks of any type")
    optimized the case where there are no fsnotify watchers on any of the
    filesystem's objects.
    
    It is quite common for a system to have a single local filesystem and
    it is quite common for the system to have some inotify watches on some
    config files or directories, so the optimization of no marks at all is
    often not in effect.
    
    Permission event watchers, which require high priority group are more
    rare, so optimizing the case of no marks og high priority groups can
    improve performance for more systems, especially for performance
    sensitive io workloads.
    
    Count per-sb watched objects by high priority groups and use that the
    optimize out the call to __fsnotify_parent() and fsnotify() in fsnotify
    permission hooks.
