fsnotify: add a way to stop queueing events on group shutdown

commit 12703dbf 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: 5838d444 ("fanotify: fix double free of pending permission events")
