[patch] inotify: change default number of queued events

[Robert Love]

Hola, John.

The default of 16384 maximum queued events is way too high.  That is a
lot of physical memory that the user can pin.

Attached patch takes it to 512.

	Robert Love


change the default number of queued events down from 16384 to 512
