Events: use eventfd() instead of syscall(SYS_eventfd) if possible.

This fixes --with-file-aio support on systems that lack eventfd()
syscall, notably aarch64 Linux.

The syscall(SYS_eventfd) may still be necessary on systems that
have eventfd() syscall in the kernel but lack it in glibc, e.g.
as seen in the current CentOS 5 release.
