Al found a potential problem in epoll_create(), where the
file->private_data member was set after fd_install().  This is obviously
wrong since another thread might do a close() on that fd# before we set the
file->private_data member.  This goes over 2.6.13 and passes a few basic
tests I've done here.

(akpm: snuck in a kzalloc() cleanup too)
