epoll: add EPOLLEXCLUSIVE flag 

Currently, epoll file descriptors or epfds (the fd returned from
epoll_create[1]()) that are added to a shared wakeup source are always
added in a non-exclusive manner.  This means that when we have multiple
epfds attached to a shared fd source they are all woken up.  This creates
thundering herd type behavior.

Introduce a new 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag that can be passed as part of the
'event' argument during an epoll_ctl() EPOLL_CTL_ADD operation.  This new
flag allows for exclusive wakeups when there are multiple epfds attached
to a shared fd event source.

The implementation walks the list of exclusive waiters, and queues an
event to each epfd, until it finds the first waiter that has threads
blocked on it via epoll_wait().  The idea is to search for threads which
are idle and ready to process the wakeup events.  Thus, we queue an event
to at least 1 epfd, but may still potentially queue an event to all epfds
that are attached to the shared fd source.

Performance testing was done by Madars Vitolins using a modified version
of Enduro/X.  The use of the 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag reduce the length of
this particular workload from 860s down to 24s.

Sample epoll_clt text:

EPOLLEXCLUSIVE

  Sets an exclusive wakeup mode for the epfd file descriptor that is
  being attached to the target file descriptor, fd.  Thus, when an event
  occurs and multiple epfd file descriptors are attached to the same
  target file using EPOLLEXCLUSIVE, one or more epfds will receive an
  event with epoll_wait(2).  The default in this scenario (when
  EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is not set) is for all epfds to receive an event.
  EPOLLEXCLUSIVE may only be specified with the op EPOLL_CTL_ADD.
