fanotify: introduce FAN_PRE_ACCESS permission event

Similar to FAN_ACCESS_PERM permission event, but it is only allowed with
class FAN_CLASS_PRE_CONTENT and only allowed on regular files and dirs.

Unlike FAN_ACCESS_PERM, it is safe to write to the file being accessed
in the context of the event handler.

This pre-content event is meant to be used by hierarchical storage
managers that want to fill the content of files on first read access.
