No I did not check with lockdep and I will do. There is a comment in
fs/eventfd.c in eventfd_signal function comments that says:

"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 returining
a POLLERR to poll(2)."

so I understood from this it is safe.

Best Regards
