tracing: Wake up poll waiters for hist files when removing an event

[ Upstream commit 9678e53179aa7e907360f5b5b275769008a69b80 ]

The event_hist_poll() function attempts to verify whether an event file is
being removed, but this check may not occur or could be unnecessarily
delayed. This happens because hist_poll_wakeup() is currently invoked only
from event_hist_trigger() when a hist command is triggered. If the event
file is being removed, no associated hist command will be triggered and a
waiter will be woken up only after an unrelated hist command is triggered.

Fix the issue by adding a call to hist_poll_wakeup() in
remove_event_file_dir() after setting the EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag. This
ensures that a task polling on a hist file is woken up and receives
EPOLLERR.
