eventfd use cases from aio and io_uring can deadlock due to circular or resursive calling, when eventfd_signal() tries to grab the waitqueue lock. On top of that, it's also possible to construct notification chains that are deep enough that we could blow the stack. Add a percpu counter that tracks the percpu recursion depth, warn if we exceed it. The counter is also exposed so that users of eventfd_signal() can do the right thing if it's non-zero in the context where it is called.
