Add syscall epoll_pwait2, an epoll_wait variant with nsec resolution that
replaces int timeout with struct timespec. It is equivalent otherwise.
int epoll_pwait2(int fd, struct epoll_event *events,
int maxevents,
const struct timespec *timeout,
const sigset_t *sigset);
The underlying hrtimer is already programmed with nsec resolution.
pselect and ppoll also set nsec resolution timeout with timespec.
The sigset_t in epoll_pwait has a compat variant. epoll_pwait2 needs
the same.
For timespec, only support this new interface on 2038 aware platforms
that define __kernel_timespec_t. So no CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
