From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2819f23ac12ce93ff79ca7a54597df9a4a1f6331 upstream.
The update to removing the eventfs_file changed the way the events top
level directory was handled. Instead of returning a dentry, it now returns
the eventfs_inode. In this changed, the removing of the events top level
directory is not much different than removing any of the other
directories. Because of this, the removal just called eventfs_remove_dir()
instead of eventfs_remove_events_dir().
Although eventfs_remove_dir() does the clean up, it misses out on the
dget() of the ei->dentry done in eventfs_create_events_dir(). It makes
more sense to match eventfs_create_events_dir() with a specific function
eventfs_remove_events_dir() and this specific function can then perform
the dput() to the dentry that had the dget() when it was created.
Fixes: 5790b1fb3d67 ("eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode")
