Pull tracing and tracefs fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Fix RCU callback of freeing an eventfs_inode.

   The freeing of the eventfs_inode from the kref going to zero freed
   the contents of the eventfs_inode and then used kfree_rcu() to free
   the inode itself. But the contents should also be protected by RCU.
   Switch to a call_rcu() that calls a function to free all of the
   eventfs_inode after the RCU synchronization.

 - The tracing subsystem maps its own descriptor to a file represented
   by eventfs. The freeing of this descriptor needs to know when the
   last reference of an eventfs_inode is released, but currently there
   is no interface for that.

   Add a "release" callback to the eventfs_inode entry array that allows
   for freeing of data that can be referenced by the eventfs_inode being
   opened. Then increment the ref counter for this descriptor when the
   eventfs_inode file is created, and decrement/free it when the last
   reference to the eventfs_inode is released and the file is removed.
   This prevents races between freeing the descriptor and the opening of
   the eventfs file.

 - Fix the permission processing of eventfs.

   The change to make the permissions of eventfs default to the mount
   point but keep track of when changes were made had a side effect that
   could cause security concerns. When the tracefs is remounted with a
   given gid or uid, all the files within it should inherit that gid or
   uid. But if the admin had changed the permission of some file within
   the tracefs file system, it would not get updated by the remount.

   This caused the kselftest of file permissions to fail the second time
   it is run. The first time, all changes would look fine, but the
   second time, because the changes were "saved", the remount did not
   reset them.

   Create a link list of all existing tracefs inodes, and clear the
   saved flags on them on a remount if the remount changes the
   corresponding gid or uid fields.

   This also simplifies the code by removing the distinction between the
   toplevel eventfs and an instance eventfs. They should both act the
   same. They were different because of a misconception due to the
   remount not resetting the flags. Now that remount resets all the
   files and directories to default to the root node if a uid/gid is
   specified, it makes the logic simpler to implement.
