[LTP] [PATCH] inotify: modernize with SAFE_ wrappers and fix minor style issues

Jinseok Kim always.starving0@gmail.com
Sat Feb 7 18:06:29 CET 2026


These are small cleanups to align with current LTP style:
- Use SAFE_ wrappers instead of manual calls
- Remove trailing comma in tst_res() for cleaner logs
