fsnotify: initialize the group->num_marks in a better place
Currently the comments say that group->num_marks is held because the group is on the fsnotify_group list. This isn't strictly the case, we really just hold the num_marks for the life of the group (any time group->refcnt is != 0) This patch moves the initialization stuff and makes it clear when it is really being held.
