[PATCH 5/8] epoll: simplify and optimize busy loop logic

[Soheil Hassas Yeganeh]

From: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@xxxxxxxxxx>

ep_events_available() is called multiple times around the busy loop
logic, even though the logic is generally not used.
ep_reset_busy_poll_napi_id() is similarly always called, even when
busy loop is not used.

Eliminate ep_reset_busy_poll_napi_id() and inline it inside
ep_busy_loop(). Make ep_busy_loop() return whether there are any
events available after the busy loop.  This will eliminate unnecessary
loads and branches, and simplifies the loop.
