Tracing updates for 6.6:

- Fix NULL pointer dereference with eventfs_remove_rec()
  If an allocation fails in one of the eventfs_add_*() functions,
  the caller of it in event_subsystem_dir() or event_create_dir()
  assigns the result to the structure. But it's assigning the ERR_PTR
  and not NULL. This was passed to eventfs_remove_rec() which expects
  either a good pointer or a NULL, not ERR_PTR. The fix is to not
  assign the ERR_PTR to the structure, but to keep it NULL on error.

- Fix list_for_each_rcu() to use list_for_each_srcu() in
  dcache_dir_open_wrapper(). One iteration of the code used RCU
  but because it had to call sleepable code, it had to be changed
  to use SRCU, but one of the iterations was missed.

- Fix synthetic event print function to use "as_u64" instead of
  passing in a pointer to the union. To fix big/little endian issues,
  the u64 that represented several types was turned into a union to
  define the types properly.
