[PATCH] eventfs: Stop using dcache_readdir() for getdents()

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The eventfs creates dynamically allocated dentries and inodes. Using the
dcache_readdir() logic for its own directory lookups requires hiding the
cursor of the dcache logic and playing games to allow the dcache_readdir()
to still have access to the cursor while the eventfs saved what it created
and what it needs to release.

Instead, just have eventfs have its own iterate_shared callback function
that will fill in the dent entries. This simplifies the code quite a bit.

Also, remove the "lookup" parameter to the create_file/dir_dentry() and
always have it return a dentry that has its ref count incremented, and
have the caller call the dput. This simplifies that code as well.
