eventfs: Have event files and directories default to parent uid and gid

Dongliang reported: I found that in the latest version, the nodes of tracefs have been changed to dynamically created. This has caused me to encounter a problem where the gid I specified in the mounting parameters cannot apply to all files, as in the following situation: /data/tmp/events # mount | grep tracefs tracefs on /data/tmp type tracefs (rw,seclabel,relatime,gid=3012) gid 3012 = readtracefs /data/tmp # ls -lh total 0 -r--r----- 1 root readtracefs 0 1970-01-01 08:00 README -r--r----- 1 root readtracefs 0 1970-01-01 08:00 available_events ums9621_1h10:/data/tmp/events # ls -lh total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2023-12-19 00:56 alarmtimer drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2023-12-19 00:56 asoc It will prevent certain applications from accessing tracefs properly, I try to avoid this issue by making the following modifications. To fix this, have the files created default to taking the ownership of the parent dentry unless the ownership was previously set by the user.
