Khazhismel Kumykov 0c54a6a44b eventpoll: fix missing wakeup for ovflist in ep_poll_callback 
In the event that we add to ovflist, before commit 339ddb53d3
("fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll") we would be
woken up by ep_scan_ready_list, and did no wakeup in ep_poll_callback.

With that wakeup removed, if we add to ovflist here, we may never wake
up.  Rather than adding back the ep_scan_ready_list wakeup - which was
resulting in unnecessary wakeups, trigger a wake-up in ep_poll_callback.

We noticed that one of our workloads was missing wakeups starting with
339ddb53d3 and upon manual inspection, this wakeup seemed missing to me.
With this patch added, we no longer see missing wakeups.  I haven't yet
tried to make a small reproducer, but the existing kselftests in
filesystem/epoll passed for me with this patch.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
