eventfs: Fix a possible null pointer dereference in eventfs_find_events()
commit d4e9a968738bf66d3bb852dd5588d4c7afd6d7f4 upstream.
In function eventfs_find_events,there is a potential null pointer
that may be caused by calling update_events_attr which will perform
some operations on the members of the ei struct when ei is NULL.
Hence,When ei->is_freed is set,return NULL directly.
