Subject: [PATCH] eventfd: guard wake_up in eventfd fs calls as well

Guard wakeups that the user can trigger, and that may end up triggering a
call back into eventfd_signal. This is in addition to the current approach
that only guards in eventfd_signal.

Rename in_eventfd_signal -> in_eventfd at the same time to reflect this.

Without this there would be a deadlock in the following code using libaio:

int main()
{
	struct io_context *ctx = NULL;
	struct iocb iocb;
	struct iocb *iocbs[] = { &iocb };
	int evfd;
        uint64_t val = 1;

	evfd = eventfd(0, EFD_CLOEXEC);
	assert(!io_setup(2, &ctx));
	io_prep_poll(&iocb, evfd, POLLIN);
	io_set_eventfd(&iocb, evfd);
	assert(1 == io_submit(ctx, 1, iocbs));
        write(evfd, &val, 8);
}
