From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The tracefs-specific fields in the inode were not initialized before the
inode was exposed to others through the dentry with 'd_instantiate()'.

Move the field initializations up to before the d_instantiate.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: 5790b1fb3d672 ("eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@intel.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202401291043.e62e89dc-oliver.sang@intel.com

Changes since v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20240130190355.11486-2-torvalds@linux-foundation.org

- Since another patch zeroed out the entire tracefs_inode, there's no need
  to initialize any of its fields to NULL.
