For VDUSE we may still need the patch since it tries to relay
notifications (eventfds) which means the recursion of the eventfd signal.

But looking at the comment in the eventfd_signal() which say we should
check with eventfd_signal_count() and delay the signal into a safe
context (e.g workqueue etc).

Thanks
