[PATCH 2/2] fs/epoll: deal with wait_queue only once

[Davidlohr Bueso]

There is no reason why we rearm the waitiqueue upon every
fetch_events retry (for when events are found yet send_events()
fails). If nothing else, this saves four lock operations per
retry, and furthermore reduces the scope of the lock even
further.
