epoll: do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies
When calling EPOLL_CTL_ADD for an epoll file descriptor that is attached
directly to a wakeup source, we do not need to take the global 'epmutex',
unless the epoll file descriptor is nested. The purpose of taking the
'epmutex' on add is to prevent complex topologies such as loops and deep
wakeup paths from forming in parallel through multiple EPOLL_CTL_ADD
operations. However, for the simple case of an epoll file descriptor
attached directly to a wakeup source (with no nesting), we do not need to
hold the 'epmutex'.
This patch along with 'epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu' improves
scalability on larger systems. Quoting Nathan Zimmer's mail on SPECjbb
performance:
"On the 16 socket run the performance went from 35k jOPS to 125k jOPS. In
addition the benchmark when from scaling well on 10 sockets to scaling
well on just over 40 sockets.
...
Currently the benchmark stops scaling at around 40-44 sockets but it seems like
I found a second unrelated bottleneck."
