eventfd: simplify eventfd_signal()

Ever since the eventfd type was introduced back in 2007 in commit
e1ad7468c77d ("signal/timer/event: eventfd core") the eventfd_signal()
function only ever passed 1 as a value for @n. There's no point in
keeping that additional argument.

 /**
- * eventfd_signal - Adds @n to the eventfd counter.
+ * eventfd_signal - Increment the event counter
  * @ctx: [in] Pointer to the eventfd context.
- * @n: [in] Value of the counter to be added to the eventfd internal counter.
- *          The value cannot be negative.
  *
  * This function is supposed to be called by the kernel in paths that do not
  * allow sleeping. In this function we allow the counter to reach the ULLONG_MAX
  * value, and we signal this as overflow condition by returning a EPOLLERR
  * to poll(2).
  *
- * Returns the amount by which the counter was incremented.  This will be less
- * than @n if the counter has overflowed.
+ * Returns the amount by which the counter was incremented.
