Subject: [PATCH] epoll: clear the tfile_check_list on -ELOOP

An epoll_ctl(,EPOLL_CTL_ADD,,) operation can return '-ELOOP' to prevent
circular epoll dependencies from being created.  However, in that case we
do not properly clear the 'tfile_check_list'.  Thus, add a call to
clear_tfile_check_list() for the -ELOOP case.
