socketpair: add eventfd and use SOCK_NONBLOCK for socketpair()

Browse source 
Currently, we use `pipe` for `wakeup_create`, which requires ***two***
file descriptors. Furthermore, given its complexity inside, `pipe` is a
bit heavyweight for just a simple event wait/notify mechanism.

`eventfd` would be a more suitable solution for this kind of scenario,
kernel also advocates for developers to use `eventfd` instead of `pipe`
in some simple use cases:

    Applications can use an eventfd file descriptor instead of a pipe
    (see pipe(2) in all cases where a pipe is used simply to signal
    events. The kernel overhead of an eventfd file descriptor is much
    lower than that of a pipe, and only one file descriptor is required
    (versus the two required for a pipe).

This change adds the new backend of `eventfd` for `wakeup_create` and
uses it where available, eliminating the overhead of `pipe`. Also, it
optimizes the `wakeup_create` to eliminate the system calls that make
file descriptors non-blocking by moving the logic of setting
non-blocking flags on file descriptors to `socketpair.c` and using
`SOCK_NONBLOCK` for `socketpair(2)`, `EFD_NONBLOCK` for `eventfd(2)`.

/* Use eventfd only with 64-bit CPU architectures because eventfd has a
* stringent rule of requiring the 8-byte buffer when calling read(2) and
* write(2) on it. In some rare cases, the C standard library implementation
* on a 32-bit system might choose to define uint64_t as a 32-bit type for
* various reasons (memory limitations, compatibility with older code),
* which makes eventfd broken.
