[PATCH] vfs: renumber FMODE_NONOTIFY and add to uniqueness check

[PATCH] vfs: renumber FMODE_NONOTIFY and add to uniqueness check

[David Drysdale]

Although FMODE_NONOTIFY is only used internally in the kernel it is in
the same numbering space as the other O_* flags, as indicated by the
comment at the top of include/uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h (and its use
in fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c).  However, its current value
clashes with the value of O_PATH on sparc, so renumber it to avoid
the clash.

All of this has happened before (12ed2e36c98aec6c4155, "fanotify:
FMODE_NONOTIFY and __O_SYNC in sparc conflict"), and all of this
will happen again -- so update the uniqueness check in fcntl_init()
to include __FMODE_NONOTIFY.

vfs: add nonconflicting values for O_PATH
5229645bdc35f1cc43eb8b25b6993c8fa58b4b43
unfortunately introduced a new conflict.

Please, put this change into a separate patch.
It seems unrelated to the definition of __FMODE_NONOTIFY.

The cause of the pain is
arch/sparc/include/uapi/asm/fcntl.h:37:
#define O_PATH           0x1000000
We cannot change that definition due to the need for backwards 
compatibility.

The patch is applicable to 3.18.0-rc4.

I CC Jan as he has done a lot of the recent file notification development.
