The existing `CondVar` abstraction is a wrapper around `wait_queue_head`, but it does not support all use-cases of the C `wait_queue_head` type. To be specific, a `CondVar` cannot be registered with a `struct poll_table`. This limitation has the advantage that you do not need to call `synchronize_rcu` when destroying a `CondVar`. However, we need the ability to register a `poll_table` with a `wait_queue_head` in Rust Binder. To enable this, introduce a type called `PollCondVar`, which is like `CondVar` except that you can register a `poll_table`. We also introduce `PollTable`, which is a safe wrapper around `poll_table` that is intended to be used with `PollCondVar`. The destructor of `PollCondVar` unconditionally calls `synchronize_rcu` to ensure that the removal of epoll waiters has fully completed before the `wait_queue_head` is destroyed. That said, `synchronize_rcu` is rather expensive and is not needed in all cases: If we have never registered a `poll_table` with the `wait_queue_head`, then we don't need to call `synchronize_rcu`. (And this is a common case in Binder - not all processes use Binder with epoll.) The current implementation does not account for this, but if we find that it is necessary to improve this, a future patch could store a boolean next to the `wait_queue_head` to keep track of whether a `poll_table` has ever been registered.
