[PATCH v2 6/6] tracing: Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear"d_subdirs"->i_private

[Oleg Nesterov]

Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear ->i_private for every
file we are going to remove.

tracing_open_generic_file() and tracing_release_generic_file()
can go away, ftrace_enable_fops and ftrace_event_filter_fops()
use tracing_open_generic() but only to check tracing_disabled.

This fixes all races with event_remove() or instance_delete().
f_op->read/write/whatever can never use the freed file/call,
all event/* files were changed to check and use ->i_private
under event_mutex.

Note: this doesn't not fix other problems, event_remove() can
destroy the active ftrace_event_call, we need more changes but
those changes are completely orthogonal.
