fanotify: do not leak user reference on allocation failure
If fanotify_init is unable to allocate a new fsnotify group it will return but will not drop its reference on the associated user struct. Drop that reference on error. Reported-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
