Fix issues related to removing Looper callbacks after close.
When a file descriptor is closed before removing it from the epoll set, it will normally be removed automatically from the epoll set by the kernel. However if there exists a duplicate then the original file descriptor may remain in the set and continue to receive events until all duplicates have been closed. Unfortunately due to kernel limitations we need to rebuild the epoll set from scratch because it may contain an old file handle that we are now unable to remove since its file descriptor is no longer valid. No such problem would have occurred if we were using the poll system call instead, but that approach carries others disadvantages. Bug: 19715279 Change-Id: If1ab8ebda0825755a416d513e888942a02ee3948
