Read vfs2 epoll events atomically.
Discovered by ayushranjan@: VFS2 was employing the following algorithm for fetching ready events from an epoll instance: - Create a statically sized EpollEvent slice on the stack of size 16. - Pass that to EpollInstance.ReadEvents() to populate. - EpollInstance.ReadEvents() requeues level-triggered events that it returns back into the ready queue. - Write the results to usermem. - If the number of results were = 16 then recall EpollInstance.ReadEvents() in the hopes of getting more. But this will cause duplication of the "requeued" ready level-triggered events. So if the ready queue has >= 16 ready events, the EpollWait for loop will spin until it fills the usermem with `maxEvents` events. Fixes #3521 PiperOrigin-RevId: 331840527
