The kernfs_notify function is hardcoded to only issue FS_MODIFY events
since that is the only current use case. Allow for supporting other
events by adding a notify_event field to kernfs_elem_attr. The
limitation of only one queued event per kernfs_node continues to exist
as a consequence of the design of the kernfs_notify_list. The new
notify_event field is protected by the same kernfs_notify_lock as the
existing notify_next field.
