Subject: [PATCH] tracefs: Have new files inherit the ownership of their
 parent

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

If the tracefs system is set to a specific owner and group, then the files
and directories that are created under them should inherit the owner and
group of the parent.
