[PATCH 2/3] inotify: tail drop inotify q_overflow events

[Eric Paris]

In f44aebcc the tail drop logic of events with no file backing
(q_overflow and in_ignored) was reversed so IN_IGNORED events would never
be tail dropped.  This now means that Q_OVERFLOW events are NOT tail
dropped.  The fix is to not tail drop IN_IGNORED, but to tail drop
Q_OVERFLOW.
