Subject: epoll: ep_autoremove_wake_function should use list_del_init_careful

From: Benjamin Segall <bsegall@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 2192bba03d80f829233bfa34506b428f71e531e7 upstream.

autoremove_wake_function uses list_del_init_careful, so should epoll's
more aggressive variant.  It only doesn't because it was copied from an
older wait.c rather than the most recent.
