These events are freed from fanotify_handle_event() but they are not removed from groups notification queue and thus they get freed again from fsnotify_flush_notify(). Fix the problem by removing permission events from notification queue before freeing them if we skip processing access response. Also expand comments in fanotify_release() to explain group shutdown in detail.
