[PATCH v2 3/5] eventfs: Do not differentiate the toplevel events directory

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

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

The toplevel events directory is really no different than the events
directory of instances. Having the two be different caused
inconsistencies and made it harder to fix the permissions bugs.

Make all events directories act the same.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: 8186fff7ab649 ("tracefs/eventfs: Use root and instance inodes as default ownership")
