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

From: hao . ge
Date: Fri May 10 2024 - 22:43:16 EST


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")
