v7:
Just a minor change from v6 to fix locking. In v6 we called
f_op->poll under eoifds.lock to install the eventfd waitqueue
function. This creates a eoifds.lock --> ctx->wqh lock ordering.
When our wakeup function gets called it's under ctx->wqh and
acquires eoifds.lock. Badness. To fix this we can move the
poll call to before the lock because we only do anything on
POLLHUP which won't occur as long as we have a reference to the
file. Thanks,
Alex
