When inode is getting deleted and someone else holds reference to a mark
attached to the inode, we just detach the connector from the inode. In
that case fsnotify_put_mark() called from fsnotify_destroy_marks() will
decide to recalculate mask for the inode and __fsnotify_recalc_mask()
will WARN about invalid connector type:

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 12015 at fs/notify/mark.c:139
__fsnotify_recalc_mask+0x2d7/0x350 fs/notify/mark.c:139

Actually there's no reason to warn about detached connector in
__fsnotify_recalc_mask() so just silently skip updating the mask in such
case.

I plan to merge this fix through my tree for 4.19-rc2.
