fsnotify: create method handle_inode_event() in fsnotify_operations
The method handle_event() grew a lot of complexity due to the design of fanotify and merging of ignore masks. Most backends do not care about this complex functionality, so we can hide this complexity from them. Introduce a method handle_inode_event() that serves those backends and passes a single inode mark and less arguments. This change converts all backends except fanotify and inotify to use the simplified handle_inode_event() method. In pricipal, inotify could have also used the new method, but that would require passing more arguments on the simple helper (data, data_type, cookie), so we leave it with the handle_event() method.
