epoll: remember the event if epoll_wait returns -EFAULT
If epoll_wait returns -EFAULT, the event that was being returned when the
fault was encountered will be forgotten. This is not a big deal since
EFAULT will happen only if a buggy userspace program passes in a bad
address, in which case what happens later usually doesn't matter.
However, it is easy to remember the event for later, and this patch makes
a simple change to do that.
