[PATCH] eventfs: Warn if an eventfs_inode is freed without is_freed being set

[PATCH] eventfs: Warn if an eventfs_inode is freed without is_freed being set

[Steven Rostedt]

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

There should never be a case where an evenfs_inode is being freed without
is_freed being set. Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() if it ever happens. That would
mean there was one too many put_ei()s.

As put_ei() is also called on failure cases to free the ei, add a free_ei()
helper that sets the is_freed and then calls put_ei().
