[PATCH 2/2] fs/epoll: loosen irq safety in epoll_insert() and epoll_remove()

[Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net>]

Both functions are similar to the context of ep_modify(), called via
epoll_ctl(2). Just like ep_modify(), saving and restoring interrupts
is an overkill in these calls as it will never be called with irqs
disabled. While ep_remove() can be called directly from EPOLL_CTL_DEL,
it can also be called when releasing the file, but this also complies
with the above.
