flag parameters: inotify_init
This patch introduces the new syscall inotify_init1 (note: the 1 stands for
the one parameter the syscall takes, as opposed to no parameter before). The
values accepted for this parameter are function-specific and defined in the
inotify.h header. Here the values must match the O_* flags, though. In this
patch CLOEXEC support is introduced.
The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.
