Prefer clear assertions instead of possible array overflow.

So this is something we can assert because we trust the kernel
(which is what's on the other end of the inotify fd) to only
give us a valid buffer with complete event records in it, not
partial pieces, right? If so, then we should say so in a comment.

(FWIW in the online Coverity Scan we just marked this one as a
false-positive.)

thanks
