Note, that inode_init_once() also does a memset on the entire inode, so the
initial memset is redundant on the inode portion. But I didn't think it was
really worth the time to complicate the code by optimizing it. I guess if I
changed the structure to:

 struct tracefs_inode {
+	struct inode            vfs_inode;
	unsigned long           flags;
	void                    *private;
-	struct inode            vfs_inode;
 };

I could have it do:

	memset_after(ti, 0, vfs_inode);

But this can be done as a separate clean up and doesn't need to be done now.
