eventfs: Fix events beyond NAME_MAX blocking tasks
Eventfs uses simple_lookup(), however, it will fail if the name of the entry is beyond NAME_MAX length. When this error is encountered, eventfs still tries to create dentries instead of skipping the dentry creation. When the dentry is attempted to be created in this state d_wait_lookup() will loop forever, waiting for the lookup to be removed. Fix eventfs to return the error in simple_lookup() back to the caller instead of continuing to try to create the dentry.
