Eric Dumazet 2c6607c611 net: add POLLPRI to sock_def_readable()
Leonardo Chiquitto found poll() could block forever on tcp sockets and
Urgent data was received, if the event flag only contains POLLPRI.

He did a bisection and found commit 4938d7e0233 (poll: avoid extra
wakeups in select/poll) was the source of the problem.

Problem is TCP sockets use standard sock_def_readable() function for
their sk_data_ready() handler, and sock_def_readable() doesnt signal
POLLPRI.

Only TCP is affected by the problem. Adding POLLPRI to the list of flags
might trigger unnecessary schedules, but URGENT handling is such a
seldom used feature this seems a good compromise.

Thanks a lot to Leonardo for providing the bisection result and a test
program as well.
