[GIT PULL v2] tracefs: Updates for v7.1

From: Steven Rostedt

Linus,

tracefs updates for 7.1:

- Simplify error handling with guards()

Use guards() to simplify the handling of releasing locks in exit paths.

- Use dentry name snapshots instead of allocation

Instead of allocating a temp buffer to store the dentry name to use in
mkdir() and rmdir() use take_dentry_name_snapshot().

- Fix default permissions not being applied at boot

The default permissions for tracefs was 0700 to only allow root having
access. But after a change to fix other mount options the update to
permissions ignored the defined default and used the system default of
0755. This is a regression and is fixed.

Changes since v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260414075753.2a036358@robin/

- Removed unused 'ret' variable in eventfs_iterate()
