Subject: [PATCH 1/4] eventfs: Have eventfs_iterate() stop immediately if ei->is_freed is
 set

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

If ei->is_freed is set in eventfs_iterate(), it means that the directory
that is being iterated on is in the process of being freed. Just exit the
loop immediately when that is ever detected, and separate out the return
of the entry->callback() from ei->is_freed.
