[PATCH 5/5] fsnotify: use kmem_cache_zalloc to simplify eventinitialization

From: Eric Paris
Date: Sun Aug 09 2009 - 18:00:14 EST


fsnotify event initialization is done entry by entry with almost everything
set to either 0 or NULL. Use kmem_cache_zalloc and only initialize things
that need non-zero initialization. Also means we don't have to change
initialization entries based on the config options.
