Well, I can be convinced otherwise but I was not able to find a compeling
usecase for it. fanotify(8) users primarily care about file data
modification / access events and secondarily also about directory content
changes (because they change how data can be accessed). And creation of
O_PATH fds does not seem to fall into either of these categories...
