fsnotify: invalidate dcache before IN_DELETE event

Apparently, there are some applications that use IN_DELETE event as an
invalidation mechanism and expect that if they try to open a file with
the name reported with the delete event, that it should not contain the
content of the deleted file.

Commit 49246466a989 ("fsnotify: move fsnotify_nameremove() hook out of
d_delete()") moved the fsnotify delete hook before d_delete() so fsnotify
will have access to a positive dentry.

This allowed a race where opening the deleted file via cached dentry
is now possible after receiving the IN_DELETE event.

To fix the regression, create a new hook fsnotify_delete() that takes
the unlinked inode as an argument and use a helper d_delete_notify() to
pin the inode, so we can pass it to fsnotify_delete() after d_delete().

Backporting hint: this regression is from v5.3. Although patch will
apply with only trivial conflicts to v5.4 and v5.10, it won't build,
because fsnotify_delete() implementation is different in each of those
versions (see fsnotify_link()).

A follow up patch will fix the fsnotify_unlink/rmdir() calls in pseudo
filesystem that do not need to call d_delete().
