fanotify allows you to ignore that issue by setting up one watch on each of the
folders configured in Baloo's KCM and that's it - there are no more race
conditions between applications creating folders and Baloo putting inotify
watches on them.

That is possibly still going to be an issue with fanotify - the default event
queue with fanotify is 16384 events, and without `CAP_SYS_ADMIN` you can't
increase that size - thought it is likely that baloo can consume events fast
enough for this not to be a serious issue.
