eventfs: Test for ei->is_freed when accessing ei->dentry
The eventfs_inode (ei) is protected by SRCU, but the ei->dentry is not. It is protected by the eventfs_mutex. Anytime the eventfs_mutex is released, and access to the ei->dentry needs to be done, it should first check if ei->is_freed is set under the eventfs_mutex. If it is, then the ei->dentry is invalid and must not be used. The ei->dentry must only be accessed under the eventfs_mutex and after checking if ei->is_freed is set. When the ei is being freed, it will (under the eventfs_mutex) set is_freed and at the same time move the dentry to a free list to be cleared after the eventfs_mutex is released. This means that any access to the ei->dentry must check first if ei->is_freed is set, because if it is, then the dentry is on its way to be freed. Also add comments to describe this better.
