inotify: Unconditionally generate IN_IGNORED events for files/dirs
The implementation previously only generated an IN_IGNORED event for a deleted watched file if the watch explicitly requested IN_DELETE_SELF. This is not correct, IN_IGNORED should always be raised when the watched subject is deleted. Adjust the implementation of inotify_log_one() accordingly. This also fixes a problem where a deleted watched file's watch would not be removed if IN_DELETE_SELF was not in the watch's event mask, in which case the unlinked vnode would linger until the inotify descriptor itself is closed. Add a regression test. Reported by: jrtc27 Reviewed by: jrtc27 MFC after: 1 week Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D58050
