[PATCH v4] fs: Improve eventpoll logging to stop indicting timerfd

[Isaac J. Manjarres]

From: Manish Varma <varmam@xxxxxxxxxx>

timerfd doesn't create any wakelocks, but eventpoll can.  When it does,
it names them after the underlying file descriptor, and since all
timerfd file descriptors are named "[timerfd]" (which saves memory on
systems like desktops with potentially many timerfd instances), all
wakesources created as a result of using the eventpoll-on-timerfd idiom
are called... "[timerfd]".

However, it becomes impossible to tell which "[timerfd]" wakesource is
affliated with which process and hence troubleshooting is difficult.

This change addresses this problem by changing the way eventpoll
wakesources are named:

1) the top-level per-process eventpoll wakesource is now named
"epollN:P" (instead of just "eventpoll"), where N is a unique ID token,
and P is the PID of the creating process.
2) individual per-underlying-file descriptor eventpoll wakesources are
now named "epollitemN:P.F", where N is a unique ID token and P is PID
of the creating process and F is the name of the underlying file
descriptor.

 v1 -> v2:
 - Renamed instance count to wakesource_create_id to better describe
   its purpose.
 - Changed the wakeup source naming convention for wakeup sources
   created by eventpoll to avoid changing the timerfd names.
 - Used the PID of the process instead of the process name for the
   sake of uniqueness when creating wakeup sources.

v2 -> v3:
 - Changed wakeup_source_register() to take in a format string
   and arguments to avoid duplicating code to construct wakeup
   source names.
 - Moved the definition of wakesource_create_id so that it is
   always defined to fix an compilation error.

v3 -> v4:
 - Changed the naming convention for the top-level epoll wakeup
   sources to include an ID for uniqueness. This is needed in
   cases where a process is using two epoll fds.
 - Edited commit log to reflect new changes and add new tags.
