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

The dcache_dir_open_wrapper() could be called when a dynamic event is
being deleted leaving a dentry with no children. In this case the
dlist->dentries array will never be allocated. This needs to be checked
for in eventfs_release(), otherwise it will trigger a NULL pointer
dereference.

Fixes: ef36b4f92868 ("eventfs: Remember what dentries were created on dir open")
