Remove sentence saying that glibc adds a flags argument to the syscall;
that was only relevant for the older eventfd() system call.

Linux 2.6.27 added signalfd4(), which supports a flags argument
that signalfd() did not provide. The flags so far implemented
are SFD_NONBLOCK and SFD_CLOEXEC.

The current wording suggests that only a single fcntl()
operation is needed to set the FD_CLOEXEC flag, when "proper"
usage would be fcntl(F_GETFD) + fcntl(F_SETFD) to get the
flags and then update them. So change the wording to indicate
that more than one fcntl() operation is required.
