Before the removal of epmutex, ep_free() will be blocked by epmutex when
invoking eventpoll_release_file(), so epi->ep will be valid.

After the removal of epmutex, epi->ep may be freed during the invocation
of eventpoll_release_file(). We can not use rcu_read_lock/unlock because
we needs to acquire ep->mtx which is a mutex, so we add a ref-counter to
eventpoll and increase it before leaving the rcu read critical region.
