[PATCH] inotify: fix event loss on hardlinked files

People have run into a problem when they do this:

watch (file1, all_events);
watch (file2, some_events);

if file2 is a hard link to file1, some events will be missed because by
default we replace the mask.  The patch below adds a flag IN_MASK_ADD which
will cause inotify to add to the existing mask if present.
