Send a FS_ERROR message via fsnotify to a userspace monitoring tool
whenever a ext4 error condition is triggered. This follows the existing
error conditions in ext4, so it is hooked to the ext4_error* functions.
It also follows the current dmesg reporting in the format. The
filesystem message is composed mostly by the string that would be
otherwise printed in dmesg.
A new ext4 specific record format is exposed in the uapi, such that a
monitoring tool knows what to expect when listening errors of an ext4
filesystem.
