minor nit...

Please note that unlike other sys_...fd() syscalls, sys_waitfd()
doesn't allow to pass O_CLOEXEC. Looks like we need a separate
"flags" argument...

Also, ioctl(FIONBIO) or fcntl(O_NONBLOCK) have no effect on
waitfd, not very good.

I'd suggest to remove WNOHANG from waitfd_ctx->ops and treat
(->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK) as WNOHANG.

(can't resist, ->ops is not the best name ;)

Oleg.
