eventpoll: fix uninitialized variable in epoll_ctl 

When calling epoll_ctl with operation EPOLL_CTL_DEL, structure epds is
not initialized but ep_take_care_of_epollwakeup reads its event field.
When this unintialized field has EPOLLWAKEUP bit set, a capability check
is done for CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND in ep_take_care_of_epollwakeup.  This
produces unexpected messages in the audit log, such as (on a system
running SELinux):

    type=AVC msg=audit(1408212798.866:410): avc:  denied
    { block_suspend } for  pid=7754 comm="dbus-daemon" capability=36
    scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t
    tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t
    tclass=capability2 permissive=1

    type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1408212798.866:410): arch=c000003e syscall=233
    success=yes exit=0 a0=3 a1=2 a2=9 a3=7fffd4d66ec0 items=0 ppid=1
    pid=7754 auid=1000 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0
    fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=3 comm="dbus-daemon"
    exe="/usr/bin/dbus-daemon"
    subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t key=(null)

("arch=c000003e syscall=233 a1=2" means "epoll_ctl(op=EPOLL_CTL_DEL)")

Remove use of epds in epoll_ctl when op == EPOLL_CTL_DEL.

Fixes: 4d7e30d989 ("epoll: Add a flag, EPOLLWAKEUP, to prevent suspend while epoll events are ready")
