fsnotify: fix unlink performance regression

__fsnotify_parent() has an optimization in place to avoid unneeded
take_dentry_name_snapshot().  When fsnotify_nameremove() was changed
not to call __fsnotify_parent(), we left out the optimization.
Kernel test robot reported a 5% performance regression in concurrent
unlink() workload.
