epoll: avoid calling ep_call_nested() from ep_poll_safewake()
ep_poll_safewake() is used to wakeup potentially nested epoll file descriptors. The function uses ep_call_nested() to prevent entering the same wake up queue more than once, and to prevent excessively deep wakeup paths (deeper than EP_MAX_NESTS). However, this is not necessary since we are already preventing these conditions during EPOLL_CTL_ADD. This saves extra function calls, and avoids taking a global lock during the ep_call_nested() calls. I have, however, left ep_call_nested() for the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC case, since ep_call_nested() keeps track of the nesting level, and this is required by the call to spin_lock_irqsave_nested(). It would be nice to remove the ep_call_nested() calls for the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC case as well, however its not clear how to simply pass the nesting level through multiple wake_up() levels without more surgery. In any case, I don't think CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is generally used for production. This patch, also apparently fixes a workload at Google that Salman Qazi reported by completely removing the poll_safewake_ncalls->lock from wakeup paths.
