[PATCH] Check we read off the compelte event from inotify

The kernel may return a short read, so we must use read_data() to make sure we
read off the full buffer. If somethign bad happens we also need to kill the
inotify watch because the filedescriptor will return out of sync structures if
we read only part of the data.
