Subject: [PATCH v4 11/11] tracing: change event_trigger_open to verify i_private != NULL

Similar to the other fixes for the same thing elsewhere by Oleg
Nesterov...

event_trigger_regex_open() is racy, ftrace_event_file can be already
freed by rmdir or trace_remove_event_call().

Change event_trigger_open() to read and verify "file = i_private"
under event_mutex.

This also moves event_file_data() into trace.h so it can be used
outside of trace_events.c.
