Subject: [RFC PATCH] epoll: Add synchronous wakeup support for ep_poll_callback

Now, the epoll only use wake_up() interface to wake up task.
However, sometimes, there are epoll users which want to use
the synchronous wakeup flag to hint the scheduler, such as
Android binder driver.
So add a wake_up_sync() define, and use the wake_up_sync()
when the sync is true in ep_poll_callback().
