inotify: Ensure we alwasy write the terminating NULL.

Browse Source 
Before the rewrite copy_event_to_user always wrote a terqminating '\0'
byte to user space after the filename.  Since the rewrite that
terminating byte was skipped if your filename is exactly a multiple of
event_size.  Ouch!

So add one byte to name_size before we round up and use clear_user to
set userspace to zero like /dev/zero does instead of copying the
strange nul_inotify_event.  I can't quite convince myself len_to_zero
will never exceed 16 and even if it doesn't clear_user should be more
efficient and a more accurate reflection of what the code is trying to
do.
