[PATCH v2] epoll: ep_autoremove_wake_function should use list_del_init_careful

From: Benjamin Segall
Date: Wed May 31 2023 - 19:24:28 EST


autoremove_wake_function uses list_del_init_careful, so should epoll's
more aggressive variant. It only doesn't because it was copied from an
older wait.c rather than the most recent.

Fixes: a16ceb139610 ("epoll: autoremove wakers even more aggressively")
