[PATCH v3 08/13] sched/wait: Add a waitqueue helper for fully exclusive priority waiters

Add a waitqueue helper to add a priority waiter that requires exclusive
wakeups, i.e. that requires that it be the _only_ priority waiter. The
API will be used by KVM to ensure that at most one of KVM's irqfds is
bound to a single eventfd (across the entire kernel).
Open code the helper instead of using __add_wait_queue() so that the
common path doesn't need to "handle" impossible failures.
