Subject: [for-next][PATCH 1/2] eventfs: Use eventfs_remove_events_dir()

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

The update to removing the eventfs_file changed the way the events top
level directory was handled. Instead of returning a dentry, it now returns
the eventfs_inode. In this changed, the removing of the events top level
directory is not much different than removing any of the other
directories. Because of this, the removal just called eventfs_remove_dir()
instead of eventfs_remove_events_dir().

Although eventfs_remove_dir() does the clean up, it misses out on the
dget() of the ei->dentry done in eventfs_create_events_dir(). It makes
more sense to match eventfs_create_events_dir() with a specific function
eventfs_remove_events_dir() and this specific function can then perform
the dput() to the dentry that had the dget() when it was created.

Fixes: 5790b1fb3d67 ("eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@...el.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202310051743.y9EobbUr-lkp@intel.com/
