eventfd: Make signal recursion protection a task bit

Browse Source 
The recursion protection for eventfd_signal() is based on a per CPU
variable and relies on the !RT semantics of spin_lock_irqsave() for
protecting this per CPU variable. On RT kernels spin_lock_irqsave() neither
disables preemption nor interrupts which allows the spin lock held section
to be preempted. If the preempting task invokes eventfd_signal() as well,
then the recursion warning triggers.

Paolo suggested to protect the per CPU variable with a local lock, but
that's heavyweight and actually not necessary. The goal of this protection
is to prevent the task stack from overflowing, which can be achieved with a
per task recursion protection as well.

Replace the per CPU variable with a per task bit similar to other recursion
protection bits like task_struct::in_page_owner. This works on both !RT and
RT kernels and removes as a side effect the extra per CPU storage.

No functional change for !RT kernels.
