timerfd doesn't create any wakelocks, but eventpoll can.  When it does,
it names them after the underlying file descriptor, and since all
timerfd file descriptors are named "[timerfd]" (which saves memory on
systems like desktops with potentially many timerfd instances), all
wakesources created as a result of using the eventpoll-on-timerfd idiom
are called... "[timerfd]".

However, it becomes impossible to tell which "[timerfd]" wakesource is
affliated with which process and hence troubleshooting is difficult.

This change addresses this problem by changing the way eventpoll
wakesources are named:

1) the top-level per-process eventpoll wakesource is now named "epoll:P"
(instead of just "eventpoll"), where P, is the PID of the creating
process.
2) individual per-underlying-filedescriptor eventpoll wakesources are
now named "epollitemN:P.F", where N is a unique ID token and P is PID
of the creating process and F is the name of the underlying file
descriptor.

All together that should be splitted up into a change to eventpoll and
timerfd (or other file descriptors).
