Steven Rostedt f0ece16ffc eventfs: Use children field for rcu head and add memory barriers
When an eventfs inode is freed, it sets ei->is_freed and then uses its
ei->list to add it to the srcu link list as the list field is a union with
the rcu list head. As the ei->list is used to iterate over an SRCU
protected list without taking the eventfs_mutex, there's nothing stopping
the iteration over that list to see the ei->rcu instead of the ei->list
and it will read a corrupt target.

To fix this, change the union of the rcu list head with the children list.
On freeing the eventfs inode, set the is_free and execute a smp_wmb()
before adding the eventfs inode to the SRCU list.

On iteration of the ei->children list, at the start, execute a smp_rmb()
and then read the is_freed of the ei to see if the children list is still
valid. If is_freed is set, then the ei_child read is not valid and the
loop should exit immediately.
