fsnotify: fix oops in fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags()

fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can race with
fsnotify_destroy_marks() so that when fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked()
drops mark_mutex, a mark from the list iterated by
fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can be freed and thus the next
entry pointer we have cached may become stale and we dereference free
memory.

Fix the problem by first moving marks to free to a special private list
and then always free the first entry in the special list.  This method
is safe even when entries from the list can disappear once we drop the
lock.
