fanotify: Fix use after free for permission events 

Currently struct fanotify_event_info has been destroyed immediately
after reporting its contents to userspace. However that is wrong for
permission events because those need to stay around until userspace
provides response which is filled back in fanotify_event_info. So change
to code to free permission events only after we have got the response
from userspace.
