From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 9537bae0da1f8d1e2361ab6d0479e8af7824e160 upstream. wake_up_poll() uses nr_exclusive=1, so it's not guaranteed to wake up all exclusive waiters. Yet, POLLFREE *must* wake up all waiters. epoll and aio poll are fortunately not affected by this, but it's very fragile. Thus, the new function wake_up_pollfree() has been introduced. Convert signalfd to use wake_up_pollfree().
