Subject: [PATCH v1] eventfd: only return events requested in poll_mask()

The ->poll_mask() operation has a mask of events that the caller
is interested in, but we're returning all events regardless.

Change to return only the events the caller is interested in. This
fixes aio IO_CMD_POLL returning immediately when called with POLLIN
on an eventfd, since an eventfd is almost always ready for a write.
