Subject: [PATCH v2 06/12] sched/wait: Add a waitqueue helper for fully
 exclusive priority waiters

Add a waitqueue helper to add a priority waiter that requires exclusive
wakeups, i.e. that requires that it be the _only_ priority waiter.  The
API will be used by KVM to ensure that at most one of KVM's irqfds is
bound to a single eventfd (across the entire kernel).

Open code the helper instead of using __add_wait_queue() so that the
common path doesn't need to "handle" impossible failures.

Note, the priority_exclusive() name is obviously confusing as the plain
priority() API also sets WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE.  This will be remedied once
KVM switches to add_wait_queue_priority_exclusive(), as the only other
user of add_wait_queue_priority(), Xen's privcmd, doesn't actually operate
in exclusive mode (more than likely, the detail was overlooked when privcmd
copy-pasted (sorry, "was inspired by") KVM's implementation).
