[BUG] Increase the number of inotify when changes are applied repeatedly #66449

Description

@QuinoRay

Description
Setup an inotify beacon and refresh beacons. Every time beacons are refreshed inotify file handles are leaked.

Setup
dnf install salt-minion
Example beacons file

beacons:
  inotify:
    - disable_during_state_run: True
    - coalesce: True
    - files:
        /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:
          mask:
            - delete
            - modify

Steps to Reproduce the behavior
On the master server salt run:
salt <name_server> state.apply

On the slave server using lsof -
lsof | grep -E 'salt.*inotify'

Expected behavior
There must be a constant number of open

/opt/salt 1817561    root   46r  a_inode    0,14    0    13770 inotify
/opt/salt 1817561 1817562 python3.1    root   46r  a_inode    0,14    0    13770 inotify\n
/opt/salt 1817561 1817659 /opt/salt    root    46r  a_inode    0,14    0    13770 inotify\n
/opt/salt 1817561 1817660 /opt/salt    root    46r  a_inode    0,14    0    13770 inotify\n
/opt/salt 1817561 1817665 /opt/salt    root    46r  a_inode    0,14    0    13770 inotify\n

But there's more every time

/opt/salt 1817561    root   46r  a_inode    0,14    0    13770 inotify
/opt/salt 1817561    root   48r  a_inode    0,14    0    13770 inotify
