This is identical to eventfd_signal(), but it allows the caller to pass in a mask to be used for the poll wakeup key. The use case is avoiding repeated multishot triggers if we have a dependency between eventfd and io_uring. If we setup an eventfd context and register that as the io_uring eventfd, and at the same time queue a multishot poll request for the eventfd context, then any CQE posted will repeatedly trigger the multishot request until it terminates when the CQ ring overflows. In preparation for io_uring detecting this circular dependency, add the mentioned helper so that io_uring can pass in EPOLL_URING as part of the poll wakeup key.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
