Jason Baron efcdd350d1 fs/epoll: make nesting accounting safe for -rt kernel
Davidlohr Bueso pointed out that when CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set
ep_poll_safewake() can take several non-raw spinlocks after disabling
interrupts.  Since a spinlock can block in the -rt kernel, we can't take a
spinlock after disabling interrupts.  So let's re-work how we determine
the nesting level such that it plays nicely with the -rt kernel.

Let's introduce a 'nests' field in struct eventpoll that records the
current nesting level during ep_poll_callback().  Then, if we nest again
we can find the previous struct eventpoll that we were called from and
increase our count by 1.  The 'nests' field is protected by
ep->poll_wait.lock.

I've also moved the visited field to reduce the size of struct eventpoll
from 184 bytes to 176 bytes on x86_64 for !CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, which
is typical for a production config.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
