filesystem notification: create fs/notify to contain all fs notification

Creating a generic filesystem notification interface, fsnotify, which will be
used by inotify, dnotify, and eventually fanotify is really starting to
clutter the fs directory.  This patch simply moves inotify and dnotify into
fs/notify/inotify and fs/notify/dnotify respectively to make both current fs/
and future notification tidier.

Dnotify is a directory-based per-fd file change notification system
that uses signals to communicate events to user-space. There exist

Say Y here to enable inotify support. Inotify is a file change

including multiple file events, one-shot support, and unmount
notification.
