Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the kvm tree with Linus' tree

Hi Avi,

Today's linux-next merge of the kvm tree got a conflict in fs/eventfd.c
between commit 133890103b9de08904f909995973e4b5c08a780e ("eventfd:
revised interface and cleanups") from Linus' tree and commit
28ddf0aebbf546e56efd1951725d5457ce1ebf98 ("eventfd: Allow waiters to be
notified about the eventfd file* going away") from the kvm tree.

Overlapping changes.  I fixed it up (see below), but don't know if this
is the correct fix.
