[PATCH 8/9] um: Support directing IO signals to calling thread

From: Tiwei Bie <tiwei.btw at antgroup.com>

Extend os_set_fd_async() to allow the calling thread to direct
I/O availability signals to itself. After this change, existing
users will explicitly direct these signals to the CPU0 thread,
which was achieved by ignoring SIGIO in helper threads. This is
a preparation for adding SMP support.
