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().

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.
