The handler processes IN_MODIFY only.  Since commit eea5d2bb34ba
("kernfs: Send IN_DELETE_SELF and IN_IGNORED") kernfs delivers both
events when the cgroup is removed, but the sample warns "No IN_MODIFY
event, skip it" and returns to poll() forever: after an rmdir the
listener never notices and keeps polling, while a supervisor still
counts it as alive, and the cleanup_memcg_events() call in main() is
unreachable.  The
accompanying selftest, commit 2de27980e1d4 ("selftests: memcg: Add
tests for IN_DELETE_SELF and IN_IGNORED"), exercises exactly this
two-event sequence.

Handle the removal pair by printing a clear message and exiting, and
subscribe IN_DELETE_SELF explicitly.  monitor_events() returns through
the normal path, which also makes the cleanup call reachable again.
