fanotify: refine the validation checks on non-dir inode mask
Commit ceaf69f ("fanotify: do not allow setting dirent events in
mask of non-dir") added restrictions about setting dirent events in the
mask of a non-dir inode mark, which does not make any sense.
For backward compatibility, these restictions were added only to new
(v5.17+) APIs.
It also does not make any sense to set the flags FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD or
FAN_ONDIR in the mask of a non-dir inode. Add these flags to the
dir-only restriction of the new APIs as well.
Move the check of the dir-only flags for new APIs into the helper
fanotify_events_supported(), which is only called for FAN_MARK_ADD,
because there is no need to error on an attempt to remove the dir-only
flags from non-dir inode.
Fixes: ceaf69f ("fanotify: do not allow setting dirent events in mask of non-dir")
