fsnotify: implement ordering between notifiers
fanotify needs to be able to specify that some groups get events before
others. They use this idea to make sure that a hierarchical storage
manager gets access to files before programs which actually use them. This
is purely infrastructure. Everything will have a priority of 0, but the
infrastructure will exist for it to be non-zero.
