Subject: [PATCH 1/1] epoll: remove wrong assert that ep_poll_callback is always called with irqs off

That was wrong assumption that all drivers disable irqs before waking up
a wait queue.  Even assert line is removed the whole logic stays correct:
epoll always locks rwlock with irqs disabled and by itself does not call
from interrupts, thus it is up to driver how to call wake_up_locked(),
because if driver does not handle any interrupts (like fuse in the the
report) of course it is safe on its side to take a simple spin_lock.
