inotify: Convert to using per-namespace limits

This patchset converts inotify to using the newly introduced
per-userns sysctl infrastructure.

Currently the inotify instances/watches are being accounted in the
user_struct structure. This means that in setups where multiple
users in unprivileged containers map to the same underlying
real user (i.e. pointing to the same user_struct) the inotify limits
are going to be shared as well, allowing one user(or application) to exhaust
all others limits.

Fix this by switching the inotify sysctls to using the
per-namespace/per-user limits. This will allow the server admin to
set sensible global limits, which can further be tuned inside every
individual user namespace. Additionally, in order to preserve the
sysctl ABI make the existing inotify instances/watches sysctls
modify the values of the initial user namespace.
