[PATCH] cooker: Improve pyinotify performance

[Richard Purdie]

Benchmarks show that the introduction of pyinotify regressed
performance. This patch ensures we only call the add_watch() function
for new entries, not ones we've already processed which does improve
performance as measured by "time bitbake -p".

This doesn't completely remove the overhead but it does substantially
reduce it.
