Amir Goldstein 2a42754b31 fsnotify: disable notification by default for all pseudo files ...

Most pseudo files are not applicable for fsnotify events at all,
let alone to the new pre-content events.

Disable notifications to all files allocated with alloc_file_pseudo()
and enable legacy inotify events for the specific cases of pipe and
socket, which have known users of inotify events.

Pre-content events are also kept disabled for sockets and pipes.

Fixes: 20bf82a898 ("mm: don't allow huge faults for files with pre content watches")
