epoll: clean up ep_modify
ep_modify() doesn't need to set event.data from within the ep->lock
spinlock as the comment suggests. The only place event.data is used is
ep_send_events_proc(), and this is protected by ep->mtx instead of
ep->lock. Also update the comment for mutex_lock() at the top of
ep_scan_ready_list(), which mentions epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL) but not
epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_MOD).
ep_modify() can also use spin_lock_irq() instead of spin_lock_irqsave().
