fanotify: use merge argument to determine actual event added to queue

fanotify needs to know the actual event added to queues so it can be
correctly checked for return values from userspace.  To do this we need to
pass that information from the merger code back to the main even handling
routine.  Currently that information is unused, but it will be.
