[PATCH 2/6] fs/epoll: simplify ep_send_events_proc() ready-list loop

[Davidlohr Bueso]

The current logic is a bit convoluted. Lets simplify this with
a standard list_for_each_entry_safe() loop instead and just
break out after maxevents is reached.

While at it, remove an unnecessary indentation level in the loop
when there are in fact ready events.
