tracefs: Fix refcount imbalance in start_creating()
In tracefs' start_creating(), we pin the file system to safely access its root. When we failed to create a file, we unpin the file system via failed_creating() to release the mount count and eventually the reference of the singleton vfsmount. However, when we run into an error during lookup_one_len() when still in start_creating(), we only release the parent's mutex but not so the reference on the mount. F.e., in securityfs_create_file(), after doing simple_pin_fs() when lookup_one_len() fails there, we infact do simple_release_fs(). This seems necessary here as well. Same issue seen in debugfs due to 190afd81e4a5 ("debugfs: split the beginning and the end of __create_file() off"), which seemed to got carried over into tracefs, too. Noticed during code review.
