[PATCH 02/11] fs/notify: don't use module_init for non-modular inotify_user code

The INOTIFY_USER option is bool, and hence this code is either
present or absent. It will never be modular, so using
module_init as an alias for __initcall is rather misleading.

Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing.

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one
of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets
mapped onto device_initcall, our use of fs_initcall (which
makes sense for fs code) will thus change this registration
from level 6-device to level 5-fs (i.e. slightly earlier).
However no observable impact of that small difference has
been observed during testing, or is expected.
