Merge tag 'tracefs-v6.12-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull tracefs fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "Fix tracefs mount options.

  Commit 78ff640 ("vfs: Convert tracefs to use the new mount API")
  broke the gid setting when set by fstab or other mount utility. It is
  ignored when it is set. Fix the code so that it recognises the option
  again and will honor the settings on mount at boot up.

  Update the internal documentation and create a selftest to make sure
  it doesn't break again in the future"
