9d3148406c Signals were not a good choice of IPC to implement the poll function for several reasons: In order to handle the asynchrnous poll-related event, a substantial amount of state information is needed. Signals are only capable of passing minimal amounts of data. There are also complexities with performing kernel space signal handlers in kernel space code that is better to avoid. So, instead of signals, the equivalent logic was converted to run via a callback that executes on the high-priority work queue.
Squashed commit of the following:

    Fix up some final compile isses.

    net/netdev:  Convert the network down notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.

    net/udp:  Convert the UDP readahead notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.

    net/tcp:  Convert the TCP readahead notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.

    mm/iob:  Convert the IOB notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.

    sched/wqueue:  Signals are not good IPCs to support the target poll functionality for several reasons including the amount of data that can be passed with a signal and in the fact that in protected and kernel modes, user threads executing signal handlers in protected, kernel memory is problematic.  Instead, convert the same logic to perform the notifications via function callback on the high priority work queue.

fc127fd297 sched/signal: Add a generic signal notification facility. Modify the custom IOB available notifier so that it is now just a wrapper around this generic signal notification. This generic signal notification faility will, eventually, be used to support network polling.
Squashed commit of the following:

    mm/iob:  The IOB available notifier is now just a wrapper around the common signal notifier.

    sched/signal:  Add a generic signal notification facility.

    sched/signal/sig_evthread.c:  More trivial naming changes.

    sched/signal:  Rename nxsig_notification() to nxsig_evthread() to make forthcoming naming additions more consistent.

8198ba6a6d This change renames all internal, private NuttX signal-related functions to use the prefix nxsig_ so that they cannot be confused with application interfaces that begin, primarily, with sig_
This is analogous to similar renaming that was done previously for semaphores.

Squashed commit of the following:

    sched/signal:  Fix a few compile warnings introduced by naming changes.

    sched/signal:  Rename all private, internal signl functions to use the nxsig_ prefix.

    sched/signal:  Rename sig_removependingsignal, sig_unmaskpendingsignal, and sig_mqnotempty to nxsig_remove_pendingsignal, nxsig_unmask_pendingsignal, and nxsig_mqnotempty to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.

    sched/signal:  Rename sig_findaction and sig_lowest to nxsig_find_action and nxsig_lowest to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.

    sched/signal:  Rename sig_allocatepingsigaction and sig_deliver to nxsig_alloc_pendingsigaction and nxsig_deliver to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.

    sched/signal:  Rename sig_cleanup, sig_release, sig_releasependingaction, and sig_releasependingsignal to nxsig_cleanup, nxsig_release, nxsig_release_pendingaction, and nxsig_release_pendingsignal to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.

    sched/signal:  Rename sig_tcbdispatch and sig_dispatch to nxsig_tcbdispatch and nxsig_dispatch to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.

    sched/signal:  Rename sig_releaseaction and sig_pendingset to nxsig_release_action and nxsig_pendingset to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.

    sched/signal:  Rename sig_initialize and sig_allocateactionblock to nxsig_initialize and nxsig_alloc_actionblock to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
