Subject[v6.6][PATCH] eventfs: Check for NULL ef in eventfs_set_attr()
From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The top level events directory dentry does not have a d_fsdata set to a
eventfs_file pointer. This dentry is still passed to eventfs_set_attr().
It can not assume that the d_fsdata is set. Check for that.

Fixes: 9aaee3eebc91 ("eventfs: Save ownership and mode")
Reported-by: Milian Wolff <milian.wolff@kdab.com>
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Note: This only affects 6.6 as the code in 6.7 here was rewritten.
I tested 6.7 and it does not have this bug.
