[PATCH] fanotify: report full event length for FIONREAD

Message-ID <[email protected]>
fanotify_ioctl(FIONREAD) reports the number of bytes available to read
from the event queue.  It currently accounts only FAN_EVENT_METADATA_LEN
for each queued event.

That underestimates events that carry additional information records, such
as FAN_REPORT_DFID_NAME events.  A userspace program that uses FIONREAD to
size its read buffer can receive a length that is smaller than the next
event.  Reading with that buffer then fails with -EINVAL, while a larger
buffer succeeds and reports a larger metadata.event_len.

Use fanotify_event_len() when summing queued events so FIONREAD includes
all info records.
