Subject: [PATCH] pidfd: change do_notify_pidfd() to use
 __wake_up(poll_to_key(EPOLLIN))

rather than wake_up_all(). This way do_notify_pidfd() won't wakeup the
POLLHUP-only waiters which wait for pid_task() == NULL.

TODO:
    - as Christian pointed out, this asks for the new wake_up_all_poll()
      helper, it can already have other users.

    - we can probably discriminate the PIDFD_THREAD and non-PIDFD_THREAD
      waiters, but this needs more work. See
      https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240205140848.GA15853@redhat.com/
