In inotify_new_watch() the number of watches for a group is compared against the max number of allowed watches and increased afterwards. The check and incrementation is not done atomically, so it is possible for multiple concurrent threads to pass the check and increment the number of marks above the allowed max. This patch uses an inotify groups mark_lock to ensure that both check and incrementation are done atomic. Furthermore we dont have to worry about the race that allows a concurrent thread to add a watch just after inotify_update_existing_watch() returned with -ENOENT anymore, since this is also synchronized by the groups mark mutex now.
