This call trace is not of a reentrant call; there is only one call to
eventfd_signal. It does fit the symptoms that Daniel reported for
PREEMPT_RT though.

This one is about PREEMPT_RT, so it would be fixed by local_lock.
There _may_ be two bugs, so let's start by fixing this one. Once this
one is fixed, we will examine the call stacks of any further reports,
and diagnose whether the second bug (if it exists) is related to vDUSE,
PREEMPT_RT or neeither.
