inotify: clean up inotify_read and fix locking problems

If userspace supplies an invalid pointer to a read() of an inotify
instance, the inotify device's event list mutex is unlocked twice.
This causes an unbalance which effectively leaves the data structure
unprotected, and we can trigger oopses by accessing the inotify
instance from different tasks concurrently.

The best fix (contributed largely by Linus) is a total rewrite
of the function in question:
