fsnotify: Allocate overflow events with proper type
Commit 7053aee26a35 "fsnotify: do not share events between notification groups" used overflow event statically allocated in a group with the size of the generic notification event. This causes problems because some code looks at type specific parts of event structure and gets confused by a random data it sees there and causes crashes. Fix the problem by allocating overflow event with type corresponding to the group type so code cannot get confused. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
