FAN_ERROR will require an error structure to be stored per mark.  But,
since FAN_ERROR doesn't apply to inode/mount marks, it should suffice to
only expose this information for superblock marks. Therefore, wrap this
kind of marks into a container and plumb it for the future.

Changes since v2:
  - Move mark initialization to fanotify_alloc_mark (Amir)

Changes since v1:
  - Only extend superblock marks (Amir)

Frankly, I find using mark->flags for fanotify internal distinction of mark
type somewhat ugly. Even more so because fsnotify_put_mark() could infer
the mark type information from mark->conn->type and pass it to the freeing
function. But the passing would be somewhat non-trivial so probably we can
leave that for some other day. But the fact that FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_SB is
set inside fsnotify-backend specific code is a landmine waiting just for
another backend to start supporting sb marks, not set
FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_SB, and some generic code depend on checking
FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_SB instead of mark->conn->type.

So I see two sensible solutions:

a) Just admit this is fanotify private flag, carve out some flags from
mark->flags as backend private and have FANOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_SB in that space
(e.g. look how include/linux/buffer_head.h has flags upto BH_PrivateStart,
then e.g. include/linux/jbd2.h starts its flags from BH_PrivateStart
further).

b) Make a rule that mark connector type is also stored in mark->flags. We
have plenty of space there so why not. Then fsnotify_add_mark_locked() has
to store type into the flags.

Pick your poison :)

I find option a) more flexible for future expansion.
This way fanotify could potentially allocate "normal" sb marks
(e.g. if not FAN_REPORT_FID) and "private" sb marks otherwise
(not that I recommend it - this was just an example)

Also, it is far less fsnotify code changes:

 #define FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_ATTACHED            0x04
+/* Backend private flags */
+#define FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_PRIVATE(x)   (0x100 + (x))

[...]

+#define FANOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_SB FSNOTIFY_MARK_FLAG_PRIVATE(0x01)
+
+struct fanotify_sb_mark {
+       struct fsnotify_mark fsn_mark;
+};
+

Thanks,
Amir.
