Subject: [PATCH RFC] io_uring: make signalfd work with io_uring (and aio) POLL

This is a case of "I don't really know what I'm doing, but this works
for me". Caveat emptor, but I'd love some input on this.

I got a bug report that using the poll command with signalfd doesn't
work for io_uring. The reporter also noted that it doesn't work with the
aio poll implementation either. So I took a look at it.

What happens is that the original task issues the poll request, we call
->poll() (which ends up with signalfd for this fd), and find that
nothing is pending. Then we wait, and the poll is passed to async
context. When the requested signal comes in, that worker is woken up,
and proceeds to call ->poll() again, and signalfd unsurprisingly finds
no signals pending, since it's the async worker calling it.

That's obviously no good. The below allows you to pass in the task in
the poll_table, and it does the right thing for me, signal is delivered
and the correct mask is checked in signalfd_poll().

Similar patch for aio would be trivial, of course.
