fs, notify: add procfs fdinfo helper

This allow us to print out fsnotify details such as watchee inode, device,
mask and optionally a file handle.

For inotify objects if kernel compiled with exportfs support the output
will be

 | pos: 0
 | flags: 02000000
 | inotify wd:3 ino:9e7e sdev:800013 mask:800afce ignored_mask:0 fhandle-bytes:8 fhandle-type:1 f_handle:7e9e0000640d1b6d
 | inotify wd:2 ino:a111 sdev:800013 mask:800afce ignored_mask:0 fhandle-bytes:8 fhandle-type:1 f_handle:11a1000020542153
 | inotify wd:1 ino:6b149 sdev:800013 mask:800afce ignored_mask:0 fhandle-bytes:8 fhandle-type:1 f_handle:49b1060023552153

If kernel compiled without exportfs support, the file handle
won't be provided but inode and device only.

 | pos: 0
 | flags: 02000000
 | inotify wd:3 ino:9e7e sdev:800013 mask:800afce ignored_mask:0
 | inotify wd:2 ino:a111 sdev:800013 mask:800afce ignored_mask:0
 | inotify wd:1 ino:6b149 sdev:800013 mask:800afce ignored_mask:0

For fanotify the output is like

 | pos: 0
 | flags: 04002
 | fanotify flags:10 event-flags:0
 | fanotify mnt_id:12 mask:3b ignored_mask:0
 | fanotify ino:50205 sdev:800013 mask:3b ignored_mask:40000000 fhandle-bytes:8 fhandle-type:1 f_handle:05020500fb1d47e7

To minimize impact on general fsnotify code the new functionality
is gathered in fs/notify/fdinfo.c file.
