[PATCH] eventfd: avoid unnecessary wakeups in eventfd_write()

[wenyang . linux]

From: Wen Yang <wenyang.linux@xxxxxxxxxxx>

In eventfd_write(), when ucnt is 0 and ctx->count is also 0,
current->in_eventfd will be set to 1, which may affect eventfd_signal(),
and unnecessary wakeups will also be performed.

Fix this issue by ensuring that ctx->count is not zero.
