How about another test case:
- Watch the cgroup directory (not the child file)
- Destroy cgroup
- Expect IN_DELETE_SELF | IN_ISDIR

I realize that this test won't pass with your implementation (right?)
but that is not ok IMO.

If we wish to make IN_DELETE_SELF available for kernfs,
it should not be confined to regular files IMO.

Thanks,
Amir.
