commit b8a555dc31e5aa18d976de0bc228006e398a2e7d upstream.
When building with clang and CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_FULL=y, there is an error
due to a cast in eventfs_create_events_dir():
fs/tracefs/event_inode.c:734:10: error: casting from randomized structure pointer type 'struct dentry *' to 'struct eventfs_inode *'
734 | return (struct eventfs_inode *)dentry;
| ^
1 error generated.
Use the ERR_CAST() function to resolve the error, as it was designed for
this exact situation (casting an error pointer to another type).
