fanotify: correct broken ref counting in case adding a mark failed
If adding a mount or inode mark failed fanotify_free_mark() is called explicitly.
But at this time the mark has already been put into the destroy list of the
fsnotify_mark kernel thread. If the thread is too slow it will try to decrease
the reference of a mark, that has already been freed by fanotify_free_mark().
(If its fast enough it will only decrease the marks ref counter from 2 to 1 - note
that the counter has been increased to 2 in add_mark() - which has practically no
effect.)
This patch fixes the ref counting by not calling free_mark() explicitly, but
decreasing the ref counter and rely on the fsnotify_mark thread to cleanup in
case adding the mark has failed.
