Subject: [PATCH 4.19 27/34] tracefs: Set the group ownership in apply_options() not parse_options()

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

commit 851e99ebeec3f4a672bb5010cf1ece095acee447 upstream.

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().
