Commitceaf69f8ea("fanotify: do not allow setting dirent events in mask of non-dir") added restrictions about setting dirent events in the mask of a non-dir inode mark, which does not make any sense. For backward compatibility, these restictions were added only to new (v5.17+) APIs. It also does not make any sense to set the flags FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD or FAN_ONDIR in the mask of a non-dir inode. Add these flags to the dir-only restriction of the new APIs as well. Move the check of the dir-only flags for new APIs into the helper fanotify_events_supported(), which is only called for FAN_MARK_ADD, because there is no need to error on an attempt to remove the dir-only flags from non-dir inode.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
