... and unfortunately it's worse than just that - what both of us
have missed is that one could have non-specific wakep + schedule_work +
aio_poll_complete_work() rechecking ->poll(), seeing nothing of
interest and reinserting into queue. All before vfs_poll() manages
to return into aio_poll(). The window is harder to hit, but it's
still there, with exact same "failed to add to cancel list" kind of bug
if we do hit it ;-/
