If memory reclaim happens, it can reclaim file system pages. The file
system pages from eventfs may take the eventfs_mutex on reclaim. This
means that allocation while holding the eventfs_mutex must not call into
filesystem reclaim. A lockdep splat uncovered this.

Fixes: 28e12c09f5aa0 ("eventfs: Save ownership and mode")
Fixes: 5790b1fb3d672 ("eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode")
