As we discussed from the last time LTP syscalls epoll_ctl04 is a known issue
on the Linus master and Linux next.

* ltp-syscalls
  - epoll_ctl04

Reported-by: Linux Kernel Functional Testing <lkft@linaro.org>

1)
The bisection results pointing to

First bad commit,
eventpoll: Fix semi-unbounded recursion
commit f2e467a48287c868818085aa35389a224d226732 upstream.

2)
A patch has been proposed to update the LTP test case to align with
recent changes in the Linux kernel code.
