poll: avoid extra wakeups in select/poll

After introduction of keyed wakeups Davide Libenzi did on epoll, we are
able to avoid spurious wakeups in poll()/select() code too.

For example, typical use of poll()/select() is to wait for incoming
network frames on many sockets.  But TX completion for UDP/TCP frames call
sock_wfree() which in turn schedules thread.

When scheduled, thread does a full scan of all polled fds and can sleep
again, because nothing is really available.  If number of fds is large,
this cause significant load.

This patch makes select()/poll() aware of keyed wakeups and useless
wakeups are avoided.  This reduces number of context switches by about 50%
on some setups, and work performed by sofirq handlers.
