Some events, like the overflow event, are not mergeable, so they are not
hashed. But, when failing inside fsnotify_add_event for lack of space,
fsnotify_add_event() still calls the insert hook, which adds the
overflow event to the merge list. Add a check to prevent any kind of
unmergeable event to be inserted in the hashtable.
Fixes: 94e00d28a680 ("fsnotify: use hash table for faster events merge")
