epoll: take epitem list out of struct file

Move the head of epitem list out of struct file; for epoll ones it's
moved into struct eventpoll (->refs there), for non-epoll - into
the new object (struct epitem_head).  In place of ->f_ep_links we
leave a pointer to the list head (->f_ep).

->f_ep is protected by ->f_lock and it's zeroed as soon as the list
of epitems becomes empty (that can happen only in ep_remove() by
now).

The list of files for reverse path check is *not* going through
struct file now - it's a single-linked list going through epitem_head
instances.  It's terminated by ERR_PTR(-1) (== EP_UNACTIVE_POINTER),
so the elements of list can be distinguished by head->next != NULL.

epitem_head instances are allocated at ep_insert() time (by
attach_epitem()) and freed either by ep_remove() (if it empties
the set of epitems *and* epitem_head does not belong to the
reverse path check list) or by clear_tfile_check_list() when
the list is emptied (if the set of epitems is empty by that
point).  Allocations are done from a separate slab - minimal kmalloc()
size is too large on some architectures.

As the result, we trim struct file _and_ get rid of the games with
temporary file references.

Locking and barriers are interesting (aren't they always); see unlist_file()
and ep_remove() for details.  The non-obvious part is that ep_remove() needs
to decide if it will be the one to free the damn thing *before* actually
storing NULL to head->epitems.first - that's what smp_load_acquire is for
in there.  unlist_file() lockless path is safe, since we hit it only if
we observe NULL in head->epitems.first and whoever had done that store is
guaranteed to have observed non-NULL in head->next.  IOW, their last access
had been the store of NULL into ->epitems.first and we can safely free
the sucker.  OTOH, we are under rcu_read_lock() and both epitem and
epitem->file have their freeing RCU-delayed.  So if we see non-NULL
->epitems.first, we can grab ->f_lock (all epitems in there share the
same struct file) and safely recheck the emptiness of ->epitems; again,
->next is still non-NULL, so ep_remove() couldn't have freed head yet.
->f_lock serializes us wrt ep_remove(); the rest is trivial.

Note that once head->epitems becomes NULL, nothing can get inserted into
it - the only remaining reference to head after that point is from the
reverse path check list.
