Subject: [GIT PULL] thread fixes

Hi Linus,

This contains a simple fix for the pidfd poll method. In the original patchset
pidfd_poll() was made to return an unsigned int. However, the poll method is
defined to return a __poll_t. While the unsigned int is not a huge deal it's
just nicer to return a __poll_t.

I've decided to send it right before the 5.4 release mainly so that stable
doesn't need to backport it to both 5.4 and 5.3.

The following changes since commit af42d3466bdc8f39806b26f593604fdc54140bcb:
