Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 09/13] tracefs: Set the group ownership in apply_options() not
 parse_options()

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

Al Viro brought it to my attention that the dentries may not be filled
when the parse_options() is called, causing the call to set_gid() to
possibly crash. It should only be called if parse_options() succeeds
totally anyway.

He suggested the logical place to do the update is in apply_options().
