Yes: if an accept reply is pending, there must be something to read on
the passive socket.

Keep in mind that this is a passive socket. There is no writing to
them. But yes, POLLIN and POLLRDNORM are equivalent, so it is best to
set both. I'll do that.

Yes, a previous POLL request completing.

If none of the conditions above apply (there isn't an
accept reply ready, and there isn't a poll reply ready) then it means
that we actually need to tell the caller to wait. This is done by
calling poll_wait to add a wait_queue to the poll table.
Then we need to tell the backend that we are polling, that is done by
the code below that sends a PVCALLS_POLL message to the backend.
The check on PVCALLS_FLAG_POLL_INFLIGHT here is to avoid sending
multiple PVCALLS_POLL requests to the backend. Thus, if there is one
already in-flight, we can just call poll_wait and return immediately
without sending a second request.

No, but I wanted to avoid partial reads. A caller could call
pvcalls_front_accept and pvcalls_front_poll on newsock almost at the
same time (it is probably not the correct way to use the API), I wanted
to make sure that "map" is either read correctly, or not read at all.
