fsnotify: get rid of fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked()

fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() is subtle to use because it temporarily releases group->mark_mutex. To avoid future problems with this function, split it into two. fsnotify_detach_mark() is the part that needs group->mark_mutex and fsnotify_free_mark() is the part that must be called outside of group->mark_mutex. This way it's much clearer what's going on and we also avoid some pointless acquisitions of group->mark_mutex.
