Subject: [RFC][PATCH 1/4] anon_inode fcntl() checks: report failure for fcntl(F_SETFL) on signalfd

anon_inode interfaces often do not support flags that can be set
by fcntl(). Right now using fcntl() to set these flags falsely
reports success for things like O_ASYNC (yet SIGIO is not delivered).

Report failure when userspace attempts to set unsupported flags
on signalfd files with fcntl().
