There are 2 way of adding item to wait_queue,
  1. add_wait_queue()
  2. add_wait_queue_exclusive()
and add_wait_queue_exclusive() is very useful API.

unforunately, poll_wait_exclusive() against poll_wait() doesn't exist. 
it means there is no way that wake up only 1 process where polled.
wake_up() is wake up all sleeping process by poll_wait(), not 1 process.

this patch introduce poll_wait_exclusive() new API for allow wake up only 1 process.

<example of usage>
unsigned int kosaki_poll(struct file *file,
		         struct poll_table_struct *wait)
{
	poll_wait_exclusive(file, &kosaki_wait_queue, wait);
	if (data_exist)
		return POLLIN | POLLRDNORM;
	return 0;
}
