commit
51aab5ffceb43e05119eb059048fd75765d2bc21 upstream.
The function tracefs_create_dir() was missing a lockdown check and was
called by the RV code. This gave an inconsistent behavior of this function
returning success while other tracefs functions failed. This caused the
inode being freed by the wrong kmem_cache.
