I like this but some comments below.

Two empty lines here look superfluous.

Rather than doing this, I'd just let fanotify_release() go through the same
path for both CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS enabled and disabled.
Enabled path won't be much more expensive since access_list will be empty
and we have to walk & destroy events anyway. That way you also don't have
to reindent everything.

When having space for these allocated, just initialize them properly.
Otherwise it's asking for trouble.
