Subject: [PATCH net-next v8 3/4] eventpoll: Add per-epoll prefer busy poll option

When using epoll-based busy poll, the prefer_busy_poll option is hardcoded
to false. Users may want to enable prefer_busy_poll to be used in
conjunction with gro_flush_timeout and defer_hard_irqs_count to keep device
IRQs masked.

Other busy poll methods allow enabling or disabling prefer busy poll via
SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL, but epoll-based busy polling uses a hardcoded value.

Fix this edge case by adding support for a per-epoll context
prefer_busy_poll option. The default is false, as it was hardcoded before
this change.
