Subject: [PATCH] signalfd: use wake_up_pollfree()
Git-commit: 9537bae0da1f8d1e2361ab6d0479e8af7824e160
Patch-mainline: v5.16-rc5
References: CVE-2021-39698 bsc#1196956

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().
