Subject: [v6.7][PATCH 20/23] eventfs: Warn if an eventfs_inode is freed without is_freed being set

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

There should never be a case where an evenfs_inode is being freed without
is_freed being set. Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() if it ever happens. That would
mean there was one too many put_ei()s.
