From: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-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.

Fixes: 5790b1fb3d672 ("eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode")

Changes since v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20240130190355.11486-2-torva...@linux-foundation.org
- Since another patch zeroed out the entire tracefs_inode, there's no need
to initialize any of its fields to NULL.
