[GSoC] inotify and fs indexing service status

[Vishesh Yadav]

Hello,

This week's status -

* Added following notes for EVFILT_VNODE - NOTE_OPEN, NOTE_ACCESS,
NOTE_CLOSE_WRITE, NOTE_CLOSE_NOWRITE, NOTE_CREATE. They work with Hammer
and UFS.

* Implemented inotify_read() and have the most important masks working.
Hence now we have a working inotify system.
