ovl: do not generate duplicate fsnotify events for "fake" path
Overlayfs "fake" path is used for stacked file operations on underlying files. Operations on files with "fake" path must not generate fsnotify events with path data, because those events have already been generated at overlayfs layer and because the reported event->fd for fanotify marks on underlying inode/filesystem will have the wrong path (the overlayfs path).
