[PATCH] change inotifyfs magic as the same magic is used for futexfs

[PATCH] change inotifyfs magic as the same magic is used for futexfs

[Andrey Mirkin]

From: Andrey Mirkin <major@openvz.org>

Right now futexfs and inotifyfs have one magic 0xBAD1DEA, that looks a little 
bit confusing.
Use 0xBAD1DEA as magic for futexfs and 0x2BAD1DEA as magic for inotifyfs.

A 'diffstat -p 1 -w 70' would be helpful so we can see which files
are touched.

Please add these magic numbers to include/linux/magic.h so that
they are clearly visible and conflicts can be seen easier,
then #include <linux/magic.h> in these source files.

Also because userspace may want these magics too.
