You are no longer using this constant, should this still exist?

This needs an invariant on `PollTable` (i.e. `self.0` is valid).

What about cv.wait_list...

Not able to find `needs_synchronize_rcu` anywhere else, should this be
here?

I was a bit confused by "wait list", since the C type is named
`wait_queue_head`, maybe just use the type name?
