[PATCH v3 06/28] fsnotify: add fsnotify_modify_mark_mask()

nfsd needs to be able to modify the mask on an existing mark when new
directory delegations are set or unset. Add an exported function that
allows the caller to set and clear bits in the mark->mask, and does
the recalculation if something changed.
