Don't check if we can do nowait before arming apoll, there are several reasons for that. First, we don't care much about files that don't support nowait. Second, it may be useful -- we don't want to be taking away extra workers from io-wq when it can go in some async. Even if it will go through io-wq eventually, it make difference in the numbers of workers actually used. And the last one, it's needed to clean nowait in future commits.
