[for-linus][PATCH 3/3] eventfs: Fix the NULL pointer dereference bug in eventfs_remove_rec()

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Jinjie Ruan <ruanjinjie@xxxxxxxxxx>

Inject fault while probing btrfs.ko, if kstrdup() fails in
eventfs_prepare_ef() in eventfs_add_dir(), it will return ERR_PTR
to assign file->ef. But the eventfs_remove() check NULL in
trace_module_remove_events(), which causes the below NULL
pointer dereference.

As both Masami and Steven suggest, allocater side should handle the
error carefully and remove it, so fix the places where it failed.
