eventfs: Use simple_recursive_removal() to clean up dentries
commit 407c6726 upstream. Looking at how dentry is removed via the tracefs system, I found that eventfs does not do everything that it did under tracefs. The tracefs removal of a dentry calls simple_recursive_removal() that does a lot more than a simple d_invalidate(). As it should be a requirement that any eventfs_inode that has a dentry, so does its parent. When removing a eventfs_inode, if it has a dentry, a call to simple_recursive_removal() on that dentry should clean up all the dentries underneath it. Add WARN_ON_ONCE() to check for the parent having a dentry if any children do.
