Pull tracefs fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "Al Viro has been looking at the tracefs code, and has pointed out some
  issues.  This contains one fix by me and one by Al.  I'm sure that
  he'll come up with more but for now I tested these patches and they
  don't appear to have any negative impact on tracing"
