f_op->poll is the only vfs operation which is not allowed to sleep.
It's because poll and select implementation used task state to
synchronize against wake ups, which doesn't have to be the case
anymore as wait/wake interface can now use custom wake up functions.
The non-sleep restriction can be a bit tricky because ->poll is not
called from an atomic context and the result of accidentally sleeping
in ->poll only shows up as temporary busy looping when the timing is
right or rather wrong.
This patch converts poll/select to use custom wake up function and use
separate triggered variable to synchronize against wake up events.
The only added overhead is an extra function call during wake up and
negligible.
This patch removes the one non-sleep exception from vfs locking rules
and is beneficial to userland filesystem implementations like FUSE, 9p
or peculiar fs like spufs as it's very difficult for those to
implement non-sleeping poll method.
While at it, make the following cosmetic changes to make poll.h and
select.c checkpatch friendly.
* s/type * symbol/type *symbol/ : three places in poll.h
* remove blank line before EXPORT_SYMBOL() : two places in select.c

Added TODO comment to switch to wake_up_process() once @sync is gone.
Thanks.
