fanotify: stop permission watchdog when timeout is zero
The fanotify permission watchdog can be disabled by writing zero to fs/fanotify/watchdog_timeout. fanotify_perm_watchdog_group_add() already checks for a zero timeout before scheduling the watchdog. However, once the watchdog work has been scheduled, perm_group_watchdog() unconditionally schedules itself again with the current timeout. If the sysctl is changed to zero while the work is active, secs_to_jiffies(0) causes the work to be rescheduled immediately, resulting in a kworker busy loop. Read the timeout once in perm_group_watchdog_schedule() and do not schedule the work when it is zero. This lets a running watchdog stop after the next execution when the sysctl is set to zero.
