fsnotify: use fsnotify_create_event to allocate the q_overflow event
Currently fsnotify defines a static fsnotify event which is sent when a group overflows its allotted queue length. This patch just allocates that event from the event cache rather than defining it statically. There is no known reason that the current implementation is wrong, but this makes sure the event is initialized and created like any other. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
