fanotify: FAN_MARK_FLUSH: avoid having to provide a fake/invalid fd and path Originally from Tvrtko Ursulin (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/12/112) Avoid having to provide a fake/invalid fd and path when flushing marks Currently for a group to flush marks it has set it needs to provide a fake or invalid (but resolvable) file descriptor and path when calling fanotify_mark. This patch pulls the flush handling a bit up so file descriptor and path are completely ignored when flushing. I reworked the patch to be applicable again (the signature of fanotify_mark has changed since Tvrtko's work).
