kernfs: do not call fsnotify() with name without a parent
When creating an FS_MODIFY event on inode itself (not on parent)
the file_name argument should be NULL.
The change to send a non NULL name to inode itself was done on purpuse
as part of another commit, as Tejun writes: "...While at it, supply the
target file name to fsnotify() from kernfs_node->name.".
But this is wrong practice and inconsistent with inotify behavior when
watching a single file. When a child is being watched (as opposed to the
parent directory) the inotify event should contain the watch descriptor,
but not the file name.
Fixes: df6a58c5c5aa ("kernfs: don't depend on d_find_any_alias()...")
