Subject: eventfd: type bug in eventfd_poll()
Since "count" is an unsigned int, then these conditions are never true:
if (count == ULLONG_MAX)
events |= POLLERR;
if (ULLONG_MAX - 1 > count)
events |= POLLOUT;
It should be a u64, because that's what ctx->count is. Also GCC
complains that "flags" is unused.
