Linus Torvalds 31e5f934ff Tracing updates for v6.7:
- Remove eventfs_file descriptor
 
   This is the biggest change, and the second part of making eventfs
   create its files dynamically.
 
   In 6.6 the first part was added, and that maintained a one to one
   mapping between eventfs meta descriptors and the directories and
   file inodes and dentries that were dynamically created. The
   directories were represented by a eventfs_inode and the files
   were represented by a eventfs_file.
 
   In v6.7 the eventfs_file is removed. As all events have the same
   directory make up (sched_switch has an "enable", "id", "format",
   etc files), the handing of what files are underneath each leaf
   eventfs directory is moved back to the tracing subsystem via a
   callback. When a event is added to the eventfs, it registers
   an array of evenfs_entry's. These hold the names of the files and
   the callbacks to call when the file is referenced. The callback gets
   the name so that the same callback may be used by multiple files.
   The callback then supplies the filesystem_operations structure needed
   to create this file.
 
   This has brought the memory footprint of creating multiple eventfs
   instances down by 2 megs each!
 
 - User events now has persistent events that are not associated
   to a single processes. These are privileged events that hang around
   even if no process is attached to them.
 
 - Clean up of seq_buf.
   There's talk about using seq_buf more to replace strscpy() and friends.
   But this also requires some minor modifications of seq_buf to be
   able to do this.
 
 - Expand instance ring buffers individually
   Currently if boot up creates an instance, and a trace event is
   enabled on that instance, the ring buffer for that instance and the
   top level ring buffer are expanded (1.4 MB per CPU). This wastes
   memory as this happens when nothing is using the top level instance.
 
 - Other minor clean ups and fixes.

   This is the biggest change, and the second part of making eventfs
