Subject: [PATCH] tracefs: avoid crash when open callback is not set

Some tracefs files, e.g. tracing/events/syscalls/*/id do not define
"open" file operation. Yet commit 757ff7244358 ("tracefs: Restrict
tracefs when the kernel is locked down") introduces "open" proxy which
unconditionally calls original open callback, which causes kernel crash
when the callback is 0.

Fix that by simply returning 0, if open callback is not set.

Fixes: 757ff7244358 ("tracefs: Restrict tracefs when the kernel is locked down")
