tracing: Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear "d_subdirs"->i_private
commit bf682c3159c4d298d1126a56793ed3f5e80395f7 upstream. Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear ->i_private for every file we are going to remove. We need to check file->dir != NULL because event_create_dir() can fail. debugfs_remove_recursive(NULL) is fine but the patch moves it under the same check anyway for readability. spin_lock(d_lock) and "d_inode != NULL" check are not needed afaics, but I do not understand this code enough. 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.
