eventfs: Use ERR_CAST() in eventfs_create_events_dir()

When building with clang and CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_FULL=y, there is an error
due to a cast in eventfs_create_events_dir():

  fs/tracefs/event_inode.c:734:10: error: casting from randomized structure pointer type 'struct dentry *' to 'struct eventfs_inode *'
    734 |                 return (struct eventfs_inode *)dentry;
        |                        ^
  1 error generated.

Use the ERR_CAST() function to resolve the error, as it was designed for
this exact situation (casting an error pointer to another type).
