[Cosmic][PATCH 0/1] fsnotify: Fix fsnotify_mark_connector race

[Joseph Salisbury]

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1771075

== Cosmic Justification ==
A regression was introduced by commit 08991e83b728.  This regression
causes problems on hosts that make heavy use of inotify and causes panics / lockups 
in the kernel in inotify-related code.

This regression is fixed buy commit d90a10e2444b as of v4.17-rc3.  Commit d90a10e2444b
was cc'd to stable and is already in Artful and Bionic but not Cosmic.
The commit was added to A and B by bug 1765564.

== Fix ==
d90a10e2444b ("fsnotify: Fix fsnotify_mark_connector race")

== Regression Potential ==
Low.  Fixes a current regression. The patch was cc'd to stable, so it has had
additional upstream review.  This commit is already applied to Artful
and Bionic.

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
