There exists a race between holding a reference of an eventfs_inode dentry and the freeing of the eventfs_inode. If user space has a dentry held long enough, it may still be able to access the dentry's eventfs_inode after it has been freed.
To prevent this, have he eventfs_inode freed via the last dput() (or via RCU if the eventfs_inode does not have a dentry).
This means reintroducing the eventfs_inode del_list field at a temporary place to put the eventfs_inode. It needs to mark it as freed (via the list) but also must invalidate the dentry immediately as the return from eventfs_remove_dir() expects that they are. But the dentry invalidation must not be called under the eventfs_mutex, so it must be done after the eventfs_inode is marked as free (put on a deletion list).
