rust: file: add abstraction for `poll_table`

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.
