- Remove eventfs_file descriptor
This is the biggest change, and the second part of making eventfs
create its files dynamically.
In 6.6 the first part was added, and that maintained a one to one
mapping between eventfs meta descriptors and the directories and
file inodes and dentries that were dynamically created. The
directories were represented by a eventfs_inode and the files
were represented by a eventfs_file.
In v6.7 the eventfs_file is removed. As all events have the same
directory make up (sched_switch has an "enable", "id", "format",
etc files), the handing of what files are underneath each leaf
eventfs directory is moved back to the tracing subsystem via a
callback. When a event is added to the eventfs, it registers
an array of evenfs_entry's. These hold the names of the files and
the callbacks to call when the file is referenced. The callback gets
the name so that the same callback may be used by multiple files.
The callback then supplies the filesystem_operations structure needed
to create this file.
This has brought the memory footprint of creating multiple eventfs
instances down by 2 megs each!
- User events now has persistent events that are not associated
to a single processes. These are privileged events that hang around
even if no process is attached to them.
- Clean up of seq_buf.
There's talk about using seq_buf more to replace strscpy() and friends.
But this also requires some minor modifications of seq_buf to be
able to do this.
- Expand instance ring buffers individually
Currently if boot up creates an instance, and a trace event is
enabled on that instance, the ring buffer for that instance and the
top level ring buffer are expanded (1.4 MB per CPU). This wastes
memory as this happens when nothing is using the top level instance.
- Other minor clean ups and fixes.

The abi_test currently uses a long sized test value for enablement
checks. On LE this works fine, however, on BE this results in inaccurate
assert checks due to a bit being used and assuming it's value is the
same on both LE and BE.
Use int type for 32-bit values and long type for 64-bit values to ensure
appropriate behavior on both LE and BE.

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.
But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:
Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
A few spots in tools/testing/selftests still refer to this older debugfs
path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

performance of a byte index status check is less ideal than a bit index.
The previous event limit per-page was 4096, the new limit is 32,768.
This change adds a bitwise index to the user_reg struct. Programs check
that the bit at status_bit has a bit set within the status page(s).
