fs: get rid of __FMODE_NONOTIFY kludge

All it takes to get rid of the __FMODE_NONOTIFY kludge is switching
fanotify from anon_inode_getfd() to anon_inode_getfile_fmode() and adding
a dentry_open_nonotify() helper to be used by fanotify on the other path.
That's it - no more weird shit in OPEN_FMODE(), etc.
