Subject: [PATCH v2] drm: make drm_file use keyed wakeups

Some processes, such as systemd, are only polling for EPOLLERR|EPOLLHUP.
As drm_file uses unkeyed wakeups, such a poll can receive many spurious
wakeups from uninteresting events if, for example, the file description
is subscribed to vblank events. This is the case with systemd, as it
polls a file description from logind that is shared with the users'
compositor.

Use keyed wakeups to allow the wakeup target to more efficiently discard
these uninteresting events.
