[PATCH] eventfs: Test for ei->is_freed when accessing ei->dentry

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" The eventfs_inode (ei) is protected by SRCU, but the ei->dentry is not. It is protected by the eventfs_mutex. Anytime the eventfs_mutex is released, and access to the ei->dentry needs to be done, it should first check if ei->is_freed is set under the eventfs_mutex.
