eventfs: Save ownership and mode

commit 28e12c09 upstream

Now that inodes and dentries are created on the fly, they are also
reclaimed on memory pressure. Since the ownership and file mode are saved
in the inode, if they are freed, any changes to the ownership and mode
will be lost.

To counter this, if the user changes the permissions or ownership, save
them, and when creating the inodes again, restore those changes.
