fanotify: Release SRCU lock when waiting for userspace response
When userspace task processing fanotify permission events screws up and does not respond, fsnotify_mark_srcu SRCU is held indefinitely which causes further hangs in the whole notification subsystem. Although we cannot easily solve the problem of operations blocked waiting for response from userspace, we can at least somewhat localize the damage by dropping SRCU lock before waiting for userspace response and reacquiring it when userspace responds.
