We call ep_events_available() under lock when timeout is 0, and then call it without locks in the loop for the other cases. Instead, call ep_events_available() without lock for all cases. For non-zero timeouts, we will recheck after adding the thread to the wait queue. For zero timeout cases, by definition, user is opportunistically polling and will have to call epoll_wait again in the future. Note that this lock was kept in c5a282e9635e9 because the whole loop was historically under lock. This patch results in a 1% CPU/RPC reduction in RPC benchmarks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
