epoll: unify awaking of wakeup source on ep_poll_callback() path
Original comment "Activate ep->ws since epi->ws may get deactivated at any time" indeed sounds loud, but it is incorrect, because the path where we check epi->ws is a path where insert to ovflist happens, i.e. ep_scan_ready_list() has taken ep->mtx and waits for this callback to finish, thus ep_modify() (which unregisters wakeup source) waits for ep_scan_ready_list(). Here in this patch I simply call ep_pm_stay_awake_rcu(), which is a bit extra for this path (indirectly protected by main ep->mtx, so even rcu is not needed), but I do not want to create another naked __ep_pm_stay_awake() variant only for this particular case, so rcu variant is just better for all the cases.
