inotify.7: Fix description of max_user_watches
...
It seems that inotify(7) is wrong here:
"/proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
This specifies a limit on the number of watches that can be
associated with each inotify instance."
On my system, the default value for this variable is 8192. But I
cannot create more than 8192 watches in total for the same UID
even when they are on different inotify instances. So I suggest
to rephrase this as: "This specifies an upper limit on the
number of watches that can be created per real user ID."
