Doesn't matter.
Look, it's enough that the file count has gone down to zero. You may
not even have gotten to eventpoll_release_file() yet - the important
part is that you're on your *way* to it.
That means that the file will be released - and it means that you have
violated all the refcounting rules for poll().
So I think you're barking up the wrong tree.
