Subject: [PATCH] tracefs: Use d_inode() helper function to get the dentry
 inode

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

Instead of referencing the inode from a dentry via dentry->d_inode, use
the helper function d_inode(dentry) instead. This is the considered the
correct way to access it.
