Davide Libenzi 9df04e1f25 epoll: drop max_user_instances and rely only on max_user_watches 
Linus suggested to put limits where the money is, and max_user_watches
already does that w/out the need of max_user_instances.  That has the
advantage to mitigate the potential DoS while allowing pretty generous
default behavior.

Allowing top 4% of low memory (per user) to be allocated in epoll watches,
we have:

LOMEM    MAX_WATCHES (per user)
512MB    ~178000
1GB      ~356000
2GB      ~712000

A box with 512MB of lomem, will meet some challenge in hitting 180K
watches, socket buffers math teaches us.  No more max_user_instances
limits then.
