fsnotify: generate FS_RENAME event with rich information

The dnotify FS_DN_RENAME event is used to request notification about
a move within the same parent directory and was always coupled with
the FS_MOVED_FROM event.

Rename the FS_DN_RENAME event flag to FS_RENAME, decouple it from
FS_MOVED_FROM and report it with the moved dentry instead of the moved
inode, so it has the information about both old and new parent and name.

Generate the FS_RENAME event regardless of same parent dir and apply
the "same parent" rule in the generic fsnotify_handle_event() helper
that is used to call backends with ->handle_inode_event() method
(i.e. dnotify).  The ->handle_inode_event() method is not rich enough to
report both old and new parent and name anyway.

The enriched event is reported to fanotify over the ->handle_event()
method with the old and new dir inode marks in marks array slots for
ITER_TYPE_INODE and a new iter type slot ITER_TYPE_INODE2.

The enriched event will be used for reporting old and new parent+name to
fanotify groups with FAN_RENAME events.
