epoll: use the waitqueue lock to protect ep->wq
Patch series "waitqueue lockdep annotation", v3.
This series adds a strategic lockdep_assert_held to __wake_up_common to
ensure callers really do hold the wait_queue_head lock when calling the
unlocked wake_up variants. It turns out epoll did not do this for a
fairly common path (hit all the time by systemd during bootup), so the
second patch fixed this instance as well.
This patch (of 3):
The epoll code currently uses the unlocked waitqueue helpers for managing
ep->wq, but instead of holding the waitqueue lock around these calls, it
uses its own ep->lock spinlock. Given that the waitqueue is not exposed
to the rest of the kernel this actually works ok at the moment, but
prevents the epoll locking rules from being enforced using lockdep.
Remove ep->lock and use the waitqueue lock to not only reduce the size of
struct eventpoll but also to make sure we can assert locking invariants in
the waitqueue code.
