epoll: ep_unregister_pollwait() can use the freed pwq->whead
signalfd_cleanup() ensures that ->signalfd_wqh is not used, but
this is not enough. eppoll_entry->whead still points to the memory
we are going to free, ep_unregister_pollwait()->remove_wait_queue()
is obviously unsafe.
Change ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) to set eppoll_entry->whead = NULL,
change ep_unregister_pollwait() to check pwq->whead != NULL under
rcu_read_lock() before remove_wait_queue(). We add the new helper,
ep_remove_wait_queue(), for this.
This works because sighand_cachep is SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and because
->signalfd_wqh is initialized in sighand_ctor(), not in copy_sighand.
ep_unregister_pollwait()->remove_wait_queue() can play with already
freed and potentially reused ->sighand, but this is fine. This memory
must have the valid ->signalfd_wqh until rcu_read_unlock().
