eventfs: Use list_add_tail_rcu() for SRCU-protected children list

Commit d2603279c7d6 ("eventfs: Use list_del_rcu() for SRCU protected
list variable") converted the removal side to pair with the
list_for_each_entry_srcu() walker in eventfs_iterate(). The insertion
in eventfs_create_dir() was left as a plain list_add_tail(), which on
weakly-ordered architectures can expose a new entry to the SRCU reader
before its list pointers and fields are observable.

Use list_add_tail_rcu() so the publication pairs with the existing
list_del_rcu() and list_for_each_entry_srcu().
