Subject: [for-next][PATCH 07/26] tracing: toplevel d_entry already initialized

From: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@...ux.alibaba.com>

Currently we have following call flow:

    tracer_init_tracefs()
        tracing_init_dentry()
        event_trace_init()
            tracing_init_dentry()

This shows tracing_init_dentry() is called twice in this flow and this
is not necessary.

Let's remove the second one when it is for sure be properly initialized.
