Use :manpage:`inotify(7)` in the RST doc comment so that the test catalog
renders a link to the man page.

Use "if (fd_notify != -1)" to check file descriptor validity in cleanup(),
matching the -1 initialization convention.

Since this is a kernel regression test, add .tags with the "linux-git" fix
commit hash in struct tst_test once the kernel fix is merged.
