    inotify: Unconditionally generate IN_IGNORED events for files/dirs
    
    The implementation previously only generated an IN_IGNORED event for a
    deleted watched file if the watch explicitly requested IN_DELETE_SELF.
    This is not correct, IN_IGNORED should always be raised when the watched
    subject is deleted.  Adjust the implementation of inotify_log_one()
    accordingly.
    
    This also fixes a problem where a deleted watched file's watch
    would not be removed if IN_DELETE_SELF was not in the watch's event
    mask, in which case the unlinked vnode would linger until the inotify
    descriptor itself is closed.
    
    Add a regression test.
