3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jason Baron <jba...@redhat.com>
commit 13d518074a952d33d47c428419693f63389547e9 upstream.
An epoll_ctl(,EPOLL_CTL_ADD,,) operation can return '-ELOOP' to prevent
circular epoll dependencies from being created. However, in that case we
do not properly clear the 'tfile_check_list'. Thus, add a call to
clear_tfile_check_list() for the -ELOOP case.
