Description

Linux kernels 5.1+ have added new API (FAN_REPORT_FID) for fanotify. Would be nice to have this in 'golang.org/x/sys'.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing fanotify constants in golang.org/x/sys/unix and add the FAN REPORT FID constant (value: 0x100) and any necessary type definitions.
