Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 6/8] eventfs: Remove getattr and permission callbacks

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

Now that inodes have their permissions updated on remount, the only other
places to update the inode permissions are when they are created and in
the setattr callback. The getattr and permission callbacks are not needed
as the inodes should already be set at their proper settings.

Remove the callbacks, as it not only simplifies the code, but also allows
more flexibility to fix the inconsistencies with various corner cases
(like changing the permission of an instance directory).
