[PATCH] 2.3.16, ncpfs & new networking

Hi Linus,
new networking code does unlock_kernel() in sock_poll() and it is not
good idea if no-one owns kernel lock... This one-linner fixes ncpfs to
directly call socket poll operation instead of file operation.
Please, apply it for 2.3.17 to get rid of BUG() messages when using ncpfs.
Thanks,
