Fix: COMPAT_EPOLL_PROC_PATH is available from Linux 2.6.28

v2: Typo in commit message "per see" -> "per se"

Failing on opening [1] is not an error per se. [1] was
introduced in Linux 2.6.28 but epoll is available since
2.5.44. Hence, goto end and set a default value without
setting error return value.

[1] /proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_watches
