From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit db3a397209b00d2e4e0a068608e5c546fc064b82 upstream.
As the eventfs_inode is freed in two different locations, make a helper
function free_ei() to make sure all the allocated fields of the
eventfs_inode is freed.
This requires renaming the existing free_ei() which is called by the srcu
handler to free_rcu_ei() and have free_ei() just do the freeing, where
free_rcu_ei() will call it.
