fs: add an iopoll method to struct file_operations
This new methods is used to explicitly poll for I/O completion for an
iocb. It must be called for any iocb submitted asynchronously (that
is with a non-null ki_complete) which has the IOCB_HIPRI flag set.
The method is assisted by a new ki_cookie field in struct iocb to store
the polling cookie.
