PATCH 1/1 change inotifyfs magic as the same magic is used for futexfs

From: Andrey Mirkin <[email protected]>

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.

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.
