You probably want to define EP_MAX_BATCH as some sane value much less
than INT_MAX/(sizeof(struct epoll_ctl_cmd)). While this avoids the
integer overflow from before, any user can cause the kernel to kmalloc
up to INT_MAX bytes. Probably not a huge deal because it's freed at the
end of the syscall, but generally not a great idea.
