eventfs: Do not treat events directory different than other directories
Treat the events directory the same as other directories when it comes to permissions. The events directory was considered different because it's dentry is persistent, whereas the other directory dentries are created when accessed. But the way tracefs now does its ownership by using the root dentry's permissions as the default permissions, the events directory can get out of sync when a remount is performed setting the group and user permissions. Remove the special case for the events directory on setting the attributes. This allows the updates caused by remount to work properly as well as simplifies the code.
