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 <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <[email protected]>
