inotify, fanotify: replace fsnotify_put_group() with fsnotify_destroy_group()
Currently in fsnotify_put_group() the ref count of a group is decremented and if it becomes 0 fsnotify_destroy_group() is called. Since a groups ref count is only at group creation set to 1 and never increased after that a call to fsnotify_put_group() always results in a call to fsnotify_destroy_group(). With this patch fsnotify_destroy_group() is called directly. Signed-off-by: Lino Sanfilippo <LinoSanfilippo@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
