Song Liu 1cda52f1b4 fsnotify, lsm: Decouple fsnotify from lsm
Currently, fsnotify_open_perm() is called from security_file_open().
This is a a bit unexpected and creates otherwise unnecessary dependency
of CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS on CONFIG_SECURITY. Fix this by
calling fsnotify_open_perm() directly.

Say Y here to enable fanotify support. fanotify is a file access
notification system which differs from inotify in that it sends
an open file descriptor to the userspace listener along with
the event.
If unsure, say Y.

bool "fanotify permissions checking"
depends on FANOTIFY
default n
help
Say Y here is you want fanotify listeners to be able to make permissions
decisions concerning filesystem events. This is used by some fanotify
listeners which need to scan files before allowing the system access to
use those files. This is used by some anti-malware vendors and by some
hierarchical storage management systems.
If unsure, say N.
