From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>
This new methods is used to explicitly poll for I/O completion for an
iocb. It must be called for any iocb submitted asynchronously (that
is with a non-null ki_complete) which has the IOCB_HIPRI flag set.
The method is assisted by a new ki_cookie field in struct iocb to store
the polling cookie.
TODO: we can probably union ki_cookie with the existing hint and I/O
priority fields to avoid struct kiocb growth.
