eventfd - allow atomic read and waitqueue remove
KVM needs a wait to atomically remove themselves from the eventfd ->poll() wait queue head, in order to handle correctly their IRQfd deassign operation. This patch introduces such API, plus a way to read an eventfd from its context. Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
