* cleanup path and it is also acquired by eventpoll_release_file()

+ * It is also acquired when inserting an epoll fd onto another epoll
+ * fd. We do this so that we walk the epoll tree and ensure that this
+ * insertion does not create a cycle of epoll file descriptors, which

+ * simultaneous inserts (A into B and B into A) from racing and
+ * constructing a cycle without either insert observing that it is
+ * going to.
* It is possible to drop the "ep->mtx" and to use the global
* mutex "epmutex" (together with "ep->lock") to have it working,
* but having "ep->mtx" will make the interface more scalable.
