eventfs: Create eventfs_root_inode to store dentry

Only the root "events" directory stores a dentry. There's no reason to
hold a dentry pointer for every eventfs_inode as it is never set except
for the root "events" eventfs_inode.

Create a eventfs_root_inode structure that holds the events_dir dentry.
The "events" eventfs_inode *is* special, let it have its own descriptor.
