The race was introduced by me in commit 971316f0503a ("epoll:
ep_unregister_pollwait() can use the freed pwq->whead"). I did not
realize that nothing can protect eventpoll after ep_poll_callback() sets
->whead = NULL, only whead->lock can save us from the race with
ep_free() or ep_remove().
Move ->whead = NULL to the end of ep_poll_callback() and add the
necessary barriers.
TODO: cleanup the ewake/EPOLLEXCLUSIVE logic, it was confusing even
before this patch.
Hopefully this explains use-after-free reported by syzcaller:
