Currently user events need to be manually deleted via the delete IOCTL call or via the dynamic_events file. Most operators and processes wish to have these events auto cleanup when they are no longer used by anything to prevent them piling without manual maintenance. However, some operators may not want this, such as pre-registering events via the dynamic_events tracefs file. Update user_event_put() to attempt an auto delete of the event if it's the last reference. The auto delete must run in a work queue to ensure proper behavior of class->reg() invocations that don't expect the call to go away from underneath them during the unregister. Add work_struct to user_event struct to ensure we can do this reliably. Add a persist flag, that is not yet exposed, to ensure we can toggle between auto-cleanup and leaving the events existing in the future. When a non-zero flag is seen during register, return -EINVAL to ensure ABI is clear for the user processes while we work out the best approach for persistent events.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
