Eric Paris 02436668d9 fsnotify: remove global fsnotify groups lists
The global fsnotify groups lists were invented as a way to increase the
performance of fsnotify by shortcutting events which were not interesting.
With the changes to walk the object lists rather than global groups lists
these shortcuts are not useful.
