fanotify: Fix use after free for permission events
Currently struct fanotify_event_info has been destroyed immediately after reporting its contents to userspace. However that is wrong for permission events because those need to stay around until userspace provides response which is filled back in fanotify_event_info. So change to code to free permission events only after we have got the response from userspace.
