eventfs: Do not invalidate dentry in create_file/dir_dentry()
With the call to simple_recursive_removal() on the entire eventfs sub system when the directory is removed, it performs the d_invalidate on all the dentries when it is removed. There's no need to do clean ups when a dentry is being created while the directory is being deleted. As dentries are cleaned up by the simpler_recursive_removal(), trying to do d_invalidate() in these functions will cause the dentry to be invalidated twice, and crash the kernel.
