Kalesh Singh e4d32142d1 tracing: Fix tracefs mount options
Commit 78ff640819 ("vfs: Convert tracefs to use the new mount API")
converted tracefs to use the new mount APIs caused mount options
(e.g. gid=<gid>) to not take effect.

The tracefs superblock can be updated from multiple paths:
    - on fs_initcall() to init_trace_printk_function_export()
    - from a work queue to initialize eventfs
      tracer_init_tracefs_work_func()
    - fsconfig() syscall to mount or remount of tracefs

The tracefs superblock root inode gets created early on in
init_trace_printk_function_export().

With the new mount API, tracefs effectively uses get_tree_single() instead
of the old API mount_single().

Previously, mount_single() ensured that the options are always applied to
the superblock root inode:
    (1) If the root inode didn't exist, call fill_super() to create it
        and apply the options.
    (2) If the root inode exists, call reconfigure_single() which
        effectively calls tracefs_apply_options() to parse and apply
        options to the subperblock's fs_info and inode and remount
        eventfs (if necessary)

On the other hand, get_tree_single() effectively calls vfs_get_super()
which:
    (3) If the root inode doesn't exists, calls fill_super() to create it
        and apply the options.
    (4) If the root inode already exists, updates the fs_context root
        with the superblock's root inode.

(4) above is always the case for tracefs mounts, since the super block's
root inode will already be created by init_trace_printk_function_export().

This means that the mount options get ignored:
    - Since it isn't applied to the superblock's root inode, it doesn't
      get inherited by the children.
    - Since eventfs is initialized from a separate work queue and
      before call to mount with the options, and it doesn't get remounted
      for mount.

Ensure that the mount options are applied to the super block and eventfs
is remounted to respect the mount options.

To understand this better, if fstab has the following:

 tracefs  /sys/kernel/tracing  tracefs   nosuid,nodev,noexec,gid=tracing 0  0

On boot up, permissions look like:

 # ls -l /sys/kernel/tracing/trace
 -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Nov  1 08:37 /sys/kernel/tracing/trace

When it should look like:

 # ls -l /sys/kernel/tracing/trace
 -rw-r----- 1 root tracing 0 Nov  1 08:37 /sys/kernel/tracing/trace

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
