As Mark Brown reported and bisected.
LKFT also noticed this test regression on 6.8 and 6.6 branches.

kselftest-ftrace test case,
ftrace_ftracetest-ktap_Test_file_and_directory_owership_changes_for_eventfs
failed on all the boards.

Looks we need to add this patch,
  d57cf30c4c07837799edec949102b0adf58bae79
  eventfs: Have "events" directory get permissions from its parent

Let me try this patch and get back to you.
