tracefs: Zero out the tracefs_inode when allocating it
eventfs uses the tracefs_inode and assumes that it's already initialized to zero. That is, it doesn't set fields to zero (like ti->private) after getting its tracefs_inode. This causes bugs due to stale values. Just initialize the entire structure to zero on allocation so there isn't any more surprises. This is a partial fix to access to ti->private. The assignment still needs to be made before the dentry is instantiated.
