eventfd: provide a eventfd_signal_mask() helper
[ Upstream commit 03e02acd ] This is identical to eventfd_signal(), but it allows the caller to pass in a mask to be used for the poll wakeup key. The use case is avoiding repeated multishot triggers if we have a dependency between eventfd and io_uring. If we setup an eventfd context and register that as the io_uring eventfd, and at the same time queue a multishot poll request for the eventfd context, then any CQE posted will repeatedly trigger the multishot request until it terminates when the CQ ring overflows. In preparation for io_uring detecting this circular dependency, add the mentioned helper so that io_uring can pass in EPOLL_URING as part of the poll wakeup key.
