epoll: eliminate unnecessary lock for zero timeout

We call ep_events_available() under lock when timeout is 0, and then call
it without locks in the loop for the other cases.

Instead, call ep_events_available() without lock for all cases.  For
non-zero timeouts, we will recheck after adding the thread to the wait
queue.  For zero timeout cases, by definition, user is opportunistically
polling and will have to call epoll_wait again in the future.

Note that this lock was kept in c5a282e9635e9 because the whole loop was
historically under lock.

This patch results in a 1% CPU/RPC reduction in RPC benchmarks.
