holds a patch by Tvrtko Ursulin

  Avoid having to provide a fake/invalid fd and path when flushing marks

  Currently for a group to flush marks it has set it needs to
  provide a fake or invalid (but resolvable) file descriptor
  and path when calling fanotify_mark. This patch pulls the
  flush handling a bit up so file descriptor and path are
  completely ignored when flushing.

Eric wrote it was applied.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/19/321

Unfortunately it is still not in the main stream code and the problem remains.

I reworked the patch to be applicable again (the signature of fanotify_mark
has changed since Tvrtko's work).
