[RFCv7 PATCH 3/4] net/sock.h: use poll_does_not_wait() in sock_poll_wait()

From: Hans Verkuil

From: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@xxxxxxxxx>

In order to determine whether poll_wait() might actually wait the
poll_table pointer was tested in sock_poll_wait(). This is no longer
sufficient, instead poll_does_not_wait() should be called. That function
also tests whether pt->pq_proc is non-NULL.

Without this change smp_mb() could be called unnecessarily in some
circumstances, causing a performance hit.
