Subject: [PATCH] wfcqueue: functions for local append and enqueue

With level-triggered epoll, append/enqueue operations to the
local/locked queues increase performance by avoiding unnecessary atomic
operations and barriers.  These are necessary to avoid performance
regressions when looping through ep_send_events and appending many
items to a queue.

  Benchmark for this coming with updated epoll patches.
