Subject: [PATCH v2] aio: Add support for the POLLFREE

Commit f5cb779ba163 ("ANDROID: binder: remove waitqueue when thread
exits.") fixed the use-after-free in eventpoll but aio still has the
same issue because it doesn't honor the POLLFREE flag.

Add support for the POLLFREE flag to force complete iocb inline in
aio_poll_wake(). A thread may use it to signal it's exit and/or request
to cleanup while pending poll request. In this case, aio_poll_wake()
needs to make sure it doesn't keep any reference to the queue entry
before returning from wake to avoid possible use after free via
poll_cancel() path.

The POLLFREE flag is no more exclusive to the epoll and is being
shared with the aio. Remove comment from poll.h to avoid confusion.

This fixes a use after free issue between binder thread and aio
interactions in certain sequence of events [1].
