Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/4] tracing: Kill tracing_open/release_generic_file

Kill tracing_open_generic_file() and tracing_release_generic_file(),
they are racy anyway.

Instead, change event_enable_read() and event_enable_write() to rely
on event_mutex and file_inode(filp)->i_private != NULL check.

trace_array_get() goes away. NOTE! this is actually wrong until we
change instance_delete() path to nullify ->i_private.
