That needs to be fixed too.  I suppose we can make the wakeup_source_register()
stub for CONFIG_PM_SLEEP unset return ERR_PTR(-ENOSYS) or something like that
and ep_create_wakeup_source() return that instead of -ENOMEM.  It looks like
eventpoll.c is the only user of it built for CONFIG_PM_SLEEP unset, but that
needs to be double checked.

The "check" part of the name kind of suggests that the function will not change
things.  What about ep_adjust_epollwakeup() or something along these lines?

And why don't you pass a pointer to epds to it?  Wouldn't it be cleaner this way?
