[PATCH] eventfs: Directly return NULL to avoid null point dereferenced

[hao . ge]

From: Hao Ge <gehao@xxxxxxxxxx>

When the condition ei->is_free holds,we return NULL directly to
avoid update_events_attr to use NULL point about ei.

Fixes: 8186fff7ab64 ("tracefs/eventfs: Use root and instance inodes as default ownership")
