Hello AI Viro, Jens

There was no response to this patch for a long time,
can you help with the review? I will thank you very much and look forward to your reply .

Subject: [PATCH v3] eventfd: convert global percpu eventfd_wake_count to ctx percpu eventfd_wake_count

From: Zqiang <qiang.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In RT system, the spinlock_irq be replaced by rt_mutex, when
call eventfd_signal(), if the current task is preempted after
increasing the current CPU eventfd_wake_count, when other task
run on this CPU and call eventfd_signal(), find this CPU
eventfd_wake_count is not zero, will trigger warning and direct
return, miss wakeup.

RIP: 0010:eventfd_signal+0x85/0xa0
vhost_add_used_and_signal_n+0x41/0x50 [vhost]
handle_rx+0xb9/0x9e0 [vhost_net]
handle_rx_net+0x15/0x20 [vhost_net]
vhost_worker+0x95/0xe0 [vhost]
kthread+0x19c/0x1c0
ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30

In no-RT system, even if the eventfd_signal() call is nested, if
if it's different eventfd_ctx object, it is not happen deadlock.
