Your patch series is backwards. The first patch should be the fix, the
second be this patch and the last one is the test case.

You should reference commit IDs and not links.

   Commit ee7f3666995d ("tracefs: Have new files inherit the ownership of
   their parent") and commit 48b27b6b5191 ("tracefs: Set all files to the
   same group ownership as the mount option") introduced a new gid..."
