fanotify: allow reporting errors on failure to open fd
When working in "fd mode", fanotify_read() needs to open an fd
from a dentry to report event->fd to userspace.
Opening an fd from dentry can fail for several reasons.
For example, when tasks are gone and we try to open their
/proc files or we try to open a WRONLY file like in sysfs
or when trying to open a file that was deleted on the
remote network server.
Add a new flag FAN_REPORT_FD_ERROR for fanotify_init().
For a group with FAN_REPORT_FD_ERROR, we will send the
event with the error instead of the open fd, otherwise
userspace may not get the error at all.
For an overflow event, we report -EBADF to avoid confusing FAN_NOFD
with -EPERM. Similarly for pidfd open errors we report either -ESRCH
or the open error instead of FAN_NOPIDFD and FAN_EPIDFD.
In any case, userspace will not know which file failed to
open, so add a debug print for further investigation.
