Tracing and eventfs fixes for 6.8:

Browse source 
- Fix histogram tracing_map insertion.
   The tracing_map_insert copies the value into the elt variable and
   then assigns the elt to the entry value. But it is possible that
   the entry value becomes visible on other CPUs before the elt is
   fully initialized. This is fixed by adding a wmb() between the
   initialization of the elt variable and assigning it.
 
 - Have eventfs directory have unique inode numbers. Having them be
   all the same proved to be a failure as the find application will
   think that the directories are causing loops, as it checks for
   directory loops via their inodes. Have the evenfs dir entries
   get their inodes assigned when they are referenced and then save
   them in the eventfs_inode structure.
