fsnotify: pass dir and inode arguments to fsnotify()
The arguments of fsnotify() are overloaded and mean different things for different event types. Replace the to_tell argument with separate arguments @dir and @inode, because we may be sending to both dir and child. Using the @data argument to pass the child is not enough, because dirent events pass this argument (for audit), but we do not report to child. Document the new fsnotify() function argumenets.
