[patch]epoll-fix-compiler-warning-and-optimize-the-non-blocking-path-fix

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Wed Jan 26 2011 - 05:20:33 EST


The non-blocking ep_poll path optimization introduced skipping over
the return value setup.

Initialize it properly, my userspace gets upset by epoll_wait()
returning random things.

In addition, remove the reinitialization at the fetch_events label,
the return value is garuanteed to be zero when execution reaches
there.
