Subject: [v6.7][PATCH 14/23] eventfs: Initialize the tracefs inode properly

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>

The tracefs-specific fields in the inode were not initialized before the
inode was exposed to others through the dentry with 'd_instantiate()'.

Move the field initializations up to before the d_instantiate.
