eventfs: Have "events" directory get permissions from its parent

The events directory gets its permissions from the root inode. But this
can cause an inconsistency if the instances directory changes its
permissions, as the permissions of the created directories under it should
inherit the permissions of the instances directory when directories under
it are created.

Currently the behavior is:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # chgrp 1002 instances
 # mkdir instances/foo
 # ls -l instances/foo
[..]
 -r--r-----  1 root lkp  0 May  1 18:55 buffer_total_size_kb
 -rw-r-----  1 root lkp  0 May  1 18:55 current_tracer
 -rw-r-----  1 root lkp  0 May  1 18:55 error_log
 drwxr-xr-x  1 root root 0 May  1 18:55 events
 --w-------  1 root lkp  0 May  1 18:55 free_buffer
 drwxr-x---  2 root lkp  0 May  1 18:55 options
 drwxr-x--- 10 root lkp  0 May  1 18:55 per_cpu
 -rw-r-----  1 root lkp  0 May  1 18:55 set_event

All the files and directories under "foo" has the "lkp" group except the
"events" directory. That's because its getting its default value from the
mount point instead of its parent.

Have the "events" directory make its default value based on its parent's
permissions. That now gives:

 # ls -l instances/foo
[..]
 -rw-r-----  1 root lkp 0 May  1 21:16 buffer_subbuf_size_kb
 -r--r-----  1 root lkp 0 May  1 21:16 buffer_total_size_kb
 -rw-r-----  1 root lkp 0 May  1 21:16 current_tracer
 -rw-r-----  1 root lkp 0 May  1 21:16 error_log
 drwxr-xr-x  1 root lkp 0 May  1 21:16 events
 --w-------  1 root lkp 0 May  1 21:16 free_buffer
 drwxr-x---  2 root lkp 0 May  1 21:16 options
 drwxr-x--- 10 root lkp 0 May  1 21:16 per_cpu
 -rw-r-----  1 root lkp 0 May  1 21:16 set_event
