Fixes#27779
Currently `followLogs` can get into a deadlock if we receive an inotify
IN_MODIFY event while we are trying to close the `fileWatcher`. This is
due to the fact that closing the `fileWatcher` happens in the same block
as consumes events from the `fileWatcher`. We are trying to run
`fileWatcher.Close`, which is waiting for an IN_IGNORE event to come in
over inotify to confirm the watch was been removed. But, because an
IN_MODIFY event has appeared after `Close` was entered but before the
IN_IGNORE, the broadcast never comes. The IN_MODIFY cannot be consumed
as the events channel is unbuffered and the only `select` that reads
from it is busy waiting for the IN_IGNORE event.
In order to try and fix this race condition I've moved the removal of
the `fileWatcher` out to a separate go block that waits for a signal to
close, removes the watcher and then signals to the previous selects on
the close signal.
This has introduced a `fileWatcher.Remove` in the final case, but if we
try and remove a watcher that does not exist it will just return an
error saying so. We are not doing any checking on the return of `Remove`
so this shouldn't cause any side-effects.
