Subject: [for-next][PATCH 11/12] eventfs: Remove special processing of dput() of events directory

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

The top level events directory is no longer special with regards to how it
should be delete. Remove the extra processing for it in
eventfs_set_ei_status_free().
