Subject: [PATCH] eventfd: protect eventfd_wake_count with a local_lock

eventfd_signal assumes that spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore is
non-preemptable and therefore increments and decrements the percpu
variable inside the critical section.

This obviously does not fly with PREEMPT_RT. If eventfd_signal is
preempted and an unrelated thread calls eventfd_signal, the result is
a spurious WARN. To avoid this, protect the percpu variable with a
local_lock.
