fs.watchFile calling listener on non-existing files

[kanongil]

fs.watchFile is supposed to call the listener when the file attributes change. If I call it using a non-existing path, the listener is immediately fired for some reason.

In node 0.10, it would wait until the file exists before calling the listener. The current functionality does however match node 0.12 behavior, which I filed an issue again here: nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#25345.

There is a fix pending here: nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#25469

@kanongil according to some discussion (#2028 (comment)), some believe that this should be the correct functionality. Do you have an opinion on that?
