Some of the fixes need to go back to 3.10. They are minor, and deal mostly
with incorrect ref counting in accessing event files.
There was a couple of optimizations that should have perf perform a bit
better when accessing trace events.
And some various clean ups. Some of the clean ups are necessary to help
in a fix to a theoretical race between opening a event file and
deleting that event.
