Subject: fsnotify: fsnotify_add_notify_event should return an event

Rather than the horrific void ** argument and such just to pass the
fanotify_merge event back to the caller of fsnotify_add_notify_event() have
those things return an event if it was different than the event suggusted to
be added.
