epoll: Always use epoll_ref for the epoll data variable
epoll_ref contains a variety of information useful when handling epoll events on our sockets, and we place it in the epoll_event data field returned by epoll. However, for a few other things we use the 'fd' field in the standard union of types for that data field. This actually introduces a bug which is vanishingly unlikely to hit in practice, but very nasty if it ever did: theoretically if we had a very large file descriptor number for fd_tap or fd_tap_listen it could overflow into bits that overlap with the 'proto' field in epoll_ref. With some very bad luck this could mean that we mistakenly think an event on a regular socket is an event on fd_tap or fd_tap_listen. More practically, using different (but overlapping) fields of the epoll_data means we can't unify dispatch for the various different objects in the epoll. Therefore use the same epoll_ref as the data for the tap fds and the netns quit fd, adding new fd type values to describe them.
