Register connection sockets with epoll using empty events (events=0) in tcp_conn_from_tap(), tcp_tap_conn_from_sock() and tcp_flow_repair_socket().
This allows tcp_epoll_ctl() to always use EPOLL_CTL_MOD, removing the need to check whether fds are already registered. As a result, the conditional ADD/MOD logic is no longer needed, simplifying the function.

Couple of queries, but the concept looks good.

Do we need to handle errors here?
It's a good question. If EPOLL_CTL_ADD fails, the subsequent EPOLL_CTL_MOD called from tcp_epoll_ctl() will fail, so we can rely on that to handle the error... but in conn_event(), tcp_epoll_ctl() error is not handler. So I think we need at least to handle the error here.
Because this is conn_from_tap(), we know that !TAPSIDE() will always be TGTSIDE in this case.

Same comments as above, except here we know it's INISIDE.
