fsnotify doens't give the user anything. If someone chooses inotify or dnotify it should build fsnotify, if they don't select one it shouldn't be built. This patch changes fsnotify to be a def_bool=n and makes everything else select it. Also fixes the issue people complained about on lwn where gdm hung because they didn't have inotify and they didn't get the inotify build option.....
