[PATCH v2] tracefs: Have new files inherit the ownership of their parent

[PATCH v2] tracefs: Have new files inherit the ownership of their parent

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

If directories in tracefs have their ownership changed, then any new files
and directories that are created under those directories should inherit
the ownership of the director they are created in.
