tracefs: Revert ccbd54ff54 ("tracefs: Restrict tracefs when the kernel is locked down")

Browse Source 
Running the latest kernel through my "make instances" stress tests, I
triggered the following bug (with KASAN and kmemleak enabled):

mkdir invoked oom-killer:
gfp_mask=0x40cd0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_RECLAIMABLE), order=0,
oom_score_adj=0
CPU: 1 PID: 2229 Comm: mkdir Not tainted 5.4.0-rc2-test #325
Hardware name: MSI MS-7823/CSM-H87M-G43 (MS-7823), BIOS V1.6 02/22/2014

I bisected this down to the addition of the proxy_ops into tracefs for
lockdown. It appears that the allocation of the proxy_ops and then freeing
it in the destroy_inode callback, is causing havoc with the memory system.
Reading the documentation about destroy_inode and talking with Linus about
this, this is buggy and wrong. When defining the destroy_inode() method, it
is expected that the destroy_inode() will also free the inode, and not just
the extra allocations done in the creation of the inode. The faulty commit
causes a memory leak of the inode data structure when they are deleted.

Instead of allocating the proxy_ops (and then having to free it) the checks
should be done by the open functions themselves, and not hack into the
tracefs directory. First revert the tracefs updates for locked_down and then
later we can add the locked_down checks in the kernel/trace files.
