fs/epoll: use a per-cpu counter for user's watches count
This counter tracks the number of watches a user has, to compare against the 'max_user_watches' limit. This causes a scalability bottleneck on SPECjbb2015 on large systems as there is only one user. Changing to a per-cpu counter increases throughput of the benchmark by about 30% on a 16-socket, > 1000 thread system.
