Provide better log messages when system runs out of inotify watches

Link to original bug (#708670)
Description
Sometimes, when trying to login after boot or trying to relogin (after screensaver) GDM doesn't do anything and login isn't possible without reboot (haven't tried to just restart gdm).
ossi@arssi:~$ pacman -Q gdm gdm 3.8.4-1
Here are some logs:
Sep 22 09:42:07 arssi gdm[196]: AccountsService: Failed to monitor logind session changes: No space left on device Sep 22 09:42:32 arssi gnome-session[318]: JS ERROR: !!!

And disk space is fine:

Also inodes: [root@arssi gdm]# df -i Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/sda1 1831424 219187 1612237 12% / dev 505819 400 505419 1% /dev run 506514 468 506046 1% /run tmpfs 506514 15 506499 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 506514 11 506503 1% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 506514 35 506479 1% /tmp /dev/sda6 20209664 166212 20043452 1% /home
So, any suggestions how I should continue debugging, please?
