fix a leak in fcntl_dirnotify()
[ Upstream commit fdfe0133473a528e3f5da69c35419ce6711d6b89 ]
[into #fixes, unless somebody objects]
Lifetime of new_dn_mark is controlled by that of its ->fsn_mark,
pointed to by new_fsn_mark. Unfortunately, a failure exit had
been inserted between the allocation of new_dn_mark and the
call of fsnotify_init_mark(), ending up with a leak.
Fixes: 1934b212615d "file: reclaim 24 bytes from f_owner"
