fsnotify: optimize the case of no parent watcher



If parent inode is not watching, check for the event in masks of
sb/mount/inode masks early to optimize out most of the code in
__fsnotify_parent() and avoid calling fsnotify().

Jens has reported that this optimization improves BW and IOPS in an
io_uring benchmark by more than 10% and reduces perf reported CPU usage.

before:

+    4.51%  io_uring  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] fsnotify
+    3.67%  io_uring  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __fsnotify_parent

after:

+    2.37%  io_uring  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __fsnotify_parent
