fanotify: generalize merge logic of events on dir
An event on directory should never be merged with an event on non-directory regardless of the event struct type. This change has no visible effect, because currently, with struct fanotify_path_event, the relevant events will not be merged because event path of dir will be different than event path of non-dir.
