[PULL,05/31] aio-posix: fix use after leaving scope in aio_poll()

Commit Message

epoll_handler is a stack variable and must not be accessed after it goes
out of scope:

      if (aio_epoll_check_poll(ctx, pollfds, npfd, timeout)) {
          AioHandler epoll_handler;
          ...
          add_pollfd(&epoll_handler);
          ret = aio_epoll(ctx, pollfds, npfd, timeout);
      } ...

  ...

  /* if we have any readable fds, dispatch event */
  if (ret > 0) {
      for (i = 0; i < npfd; i++) {
          nodes[i]->pfd.revents = pollfds[i].revents;
      }
  }

nodes[0] is &epoll_handler, which has already gone out of scope.

There is no need to use pollfds[] for epoll.  We don't need an
AioHandler for the epoll fd.
