Norman Maurer 63f7854c1e Don't read from timerfd and eventfd on each EventLoop tick (#9192)
Motivation:

We do not need to issue a read on timerfd and eventfd when the EventLoop wakes up if we register these as Edge-Triggered. This removes the overhead of 2 syscalls and so helps to reduce latency.

Modifications:

- Ensure we register the timerfd and eventfd with EPOLLET flag
- If eventfd_write fails with EAGAIN, call eventfd_read and try eventfd_write again as we only use it as wake-up mechanism.

Result:

Less syscalls and so reducing overhead.
