[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 04/19] epoll: annotate racy check

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 6474353a5e3d0b2cf610153cea0c61f576a36d0a ]

Epoll relies on a racy fastpath check during __fput() in
eventpoll_release() to avoid the hit of pointlessly acquiring a
semaphore. Annotate that race by using WRITE_ONCE() and READ_ONCE().
