tracefs: Avoid using the ei->dentry pointer unnecessarily 

The eventfs_find_events() code tries to walk up the tree to find the
event directory that a dentry belongs to, in order to then find the
eventfs inode that is associated with that event directory.

However, it uses an odd combination of walking the dentry parent,
looking up the eventfs inode associated with that, and then looking up
the dentry from there.  Repeat.

But the code shouldn't have back-pointers to dentries in the first
place, and it should just walk the dentry parenthood chain directly.

Similarly, 'set_top_events_ownership()' looks up the dentry from the
eventfs inode, but the only reason it wants a dentry is to look up the
superblock in order to look up the root dentry.

But it already has the real filesystem inode, which has that same
superblock pointer.  So just pass in the superblock pointer using the
information that's already there, instead of looking up extraneous data
that is irrelevant.
