[PATCH] inotify: add MOVE_SELF event

Browse source 
This adds a MOVE_SELF event to inotify.  It is sent whenever the inode
you are watching is moved.  We need this event so that we can catch
something like this:

 - app1:
	watch /etc/mtab

 - app2:
	cp /etc/mtab /tmp/mtab-work
	mv /etc/mtab /etc/mtab~
	mv /tmp/mtab-work /etc/mtab

app1 still thinks it's watching /etc/mtab but it's actually watching
/etc/mtab~.
