netlink_unicast() uses boolean value but ont MSG_* flags for nonblocking,
so this should be netlink_unicast(fsevent_sock, skb, pid, 0);

What is the logic behind this steps?
If there are no listeners you increment it's number no matter if it will
or not be added in set_fsevent_filter().

The same issue about nonblocking sending.

Really strange mix of per-cpu variables for optimized performance and
global spin locking.
Consider using RCU for list of listeners.
You use unicast delivery for netlink messages.
According to my investigation [1], it's performance is better only when
there is only one listener (or maybe two in some cases), but then it is
noticebly slower than broadcasting.

Btw, you need some rebalancing of the per-cpu queues, probably in
keventd, since CPUs can go offline and your messages will stuck foreve
there.

Broken. Your work can be pending on this stage, but you already removed
and freed resources.
