fsnotify: fix list walk order
Marks were stored on the inode and vfsmonut mark list in order from highest memory address to lowest memory address. The code to walk those lists thought they were in order from lowest to highest with unpredictable results when trying to match up marks from each. It was possible that extra events would be sent to userspace when inode marks ignoring events wouldn't get matched with the vfsmount marks. This problem only affected fanotify when using both vfsmount and inode marks simultaneously. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
