fs/eventpoll.c: loosen irq safety in ep_poll()

Similar to other calls, ep_poll() is not called with interrupts disabled,
and we can therefore avoid the irq save/restore dance and just disable
local irqs.  In fact, the call should never be called in irq context at
all, considering that the only path is

epoll_wait(2) -> do_epoll_wait() -> ep_poll().

When running on a 2 socket 40-core (ht) IvyBridge a common pipe based
epoll_wait(2) microbenchmark, the following performance improvements are
seen:

    # threads       vanilla         dirty
	 1          1805587	    2106412
	 2          1854064	    2090762
	 4          1805484	    2017436
	 8          1751222	    1974475
	 16         1725299	    1962104
	 32         1378463	    1571233
	 64          787368	     900784

Which is a pretty constantly near 15%.

Also add a lockdep check such that we detect any mischief before
deadlocking.
