[PATCH 2/5] inotify: use ZERO_PAGE instead of private static declaration

[Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>]

inotify needs to pad filenames to an inotify event length.  Currently this
is done by copying 0s from an event declared globally.  This patch doesn't
waste global address space just to have some 0s and instead uses
clear_user()
