[PATCH v3 4/6] Revert "fsnotify: generate pre-content permission event on page fault"

[Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>]

This reverts commit 8392bc2ff8c8bf7c4c5e6dfa71ccd893a3c046f6.

In the use case of buffered write whose input buffer is mmapped file on a
filesystem with a pre-content mark, the prefaulting of the buffer can
happen under the filesystem freeze protection (obtained in vfs_write())
which breaks assumptions of pre-content hook and introduces potential
deadlock of HSM handler in userspace with filesystem freezing.

Now that we have pre-content hooks at file mmap() time, disable the
pre-content event hooks on page fault to avoid the potential deadlock.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/7ehxrhbvehlrjwvrduoxsao5k3x4aw275patsb3krkwuq573yv@o2hskrfawbnc/
