fs/epoll: reduce the scope of wq lock in epoll_wait()

Browse Source 
This patch aims at reducing ep wq.lock hold times in epoll_wait(2).  For
the blocking case, there is no need to constantly take and drop the
spinlock, which is only needed to manipulate the waitqueue.

The call to ep_events_available() is now lockless, and only exposed to
benign races.  Here, if false positive (returns available events and
does not see another thread deleting an epi from the list) we call into
send_events and then the list's state is correctly seen.  Otoh, if a
false negative and we don't see a list_add_tail(), for example, from irq
callback, then it is rechecked again before blocking, which will see the
correct state.

In order for more accuracy to see concurrent list_del_init(), use the
list_empty_careful() variant -- of course, this won't be safe against
insertions from wakeup.

For the overflow list we obviously need to prevent load/store tearing as
we don't want to see partial values while the ready list is disabled.
