Subject: [PATCH] fs/epoll: fix the edge-triggered mode for epoll itself

From: Heiher <r@....cc>

The structure of event pools:
 efd[2]:
 {
     sfd[0] (EPOLLIN)
 }

 efd[1]:
 {
     efd[2] (EPOLLIN)
 }

 efd[0]:
 {
     efd[2] (EPOLLIN | EPOLLET)
 }

When sfd[0] to be readable:
 * the epoll_wait(efd[0], ..., 0) should return efd[2]'s events on first call,
   and returns 0 on next calls, because efd[2] is added in edge-triggered mode.
 * the epoll_wait(efd[1], ..., 0) should returns efd[2]'s events on every calls
   until efd[2] is not readable (epoll_wait(efd[2], ...) => 0), because efd[1]
   is added in level-triggered mode.
 * the epoll_wait(efd[2], ..., 0) should returns sfd[0]'s events on every calls
   until sfd[0] is not readable (read(sfd[0], ...) => EAGAIN), because sfd[0]
   is added in level-triggered mode.
