Subject: [PATCH] epoll: fix use-after-free in eventpoll_release_file

This fixes use-after-free of epi->fllink.next inside list loop macro.
This loop actually releases elements in the body. List is rcu-protected
but here we cannot hold rcu_read_lock because we need to lock mutex inside.

Obvious solution is to use list_for_each_entry_safe(). RCU-ness isn't essential
because nobody can change this list under us, it's final fput for this file.

Bug is here since ae10b2b4eb01bedc91d29d5c5bb9e416fd806c40
("epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu")
