[PATCH] inotify: add MOVE_SELF event
This adds a MOVE_SELF event to inotify. It is sent whenever the inode
you are watching is moved. We need this event so that we can catch
something like this:
- app1:
watch /etc/mtab
- app2:
cp /etc/mtab /tmp/mtab-work
mv /etc/mtab /etc/mtab~
mv /tmp/mtab-work /etc/mtab
app1 still thinks it's watching /etc/mtab but it's actually watching
/etc/mtab~.
