Architecture: x86_64

>Description:
Setting an eventfd() to non-blocking mode using fcntl() returns
'operation not supported'.
However, software expects this to work (e.g. net/zeromq).
>How-To-Repeat:
Run net/zeromq's self tests.

Or this program:

#include <sys/eventfd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
    int cflags = 0x400000;
    int s_ = eventfd (0, cflags);

    int flags = fcntl (s_, F_GETFL, 0);
    printf("eventfd flags are %d, O_NONBLOCK is %d\n", flags, O_NONBLOCK);
    if (flags == -1)
        flags = 0;
    int rc = fcntl (s_, F_SETFL, flags | O_NONBLOCK);
    printf("fcntl returned %d: %s\n", rc, strerror(errno));
}

It should return a success, but currently it prints

eventfd flags are 2, O_NONBLOCK is 4
fcntl returned -1: Operation not supported

>Fix:
Please.
