[ Upstream commit 4efaa5acf0a1d2b5947f98abb3acf8bfd966422b ]
epoll can call out to vfs_poll() with a file pointer that may race with the last 'fput()'. That would make f_count go down to zero, and while the ep->mtx locking means that the resulting file pointer tear-down will be blocked until the poll returns, it means that f_count is already dead, and any use of it won't actually get a reference to the file any more: it's dead regardless.
Make sure we have a valid ref on the file pointer before we call down to vfs_poll() from the epoll routines.
