Attribute Changes:
The getname/path_lookup hooks are never called for these syscalls:
sys_fchmod
sys_fchown
sys_fremovexattr
sys_fsetxattr
The fsnotify_change() and fsnotify_xattr() hooks capture the relevant
dentry, so the dentry's name & inode could be passed to the event
callback.
Looking again, I don't see a call to fsnotify_xattr() in the path for
removing xattrs. So that is something we'd need to request.
