fanotify: send events using read

Send events to userspace by reading the file descriptor from fanotify_init().
One will get blocks of data which look like:

struct fanotify_event_metadata {
	__u32 event_len;
	__u32 vers;
	__s32 fd;
	__u64 mask;
	__s64 pid;
	__u64 cookie;
} __attribute__ ((packed));

Simple code to retrieve and deal with events is below

	while ((len = read(fan_fd, buf, sizeof(buf))) > 0) {
		struct fanotify_event_metadata *metadata;

		metadata = (void *)buf;
		while(FAN_EVENT_OK(metadata, len)) {
			[PROCESS HERE!!]
			if (metadata->fd >= 0 && close(metadata->fd) != 0)
				goto fail;
			metadata = FAN_EVENT_NEXT(metadata, len);
		}
	}
