commit 68514dacf2715d11b91ca50d88de047c086fea9c upstream.

A task can end up indefinitely sleeping in do_select() ->
poll_schedule_timeout() when the following race happens:

  TASK1 (thread1)             TASK2                   TASK1 (thread2)
  do_select()
    setup poll_wqueues table
    with 'fd'
                              write data to 'fd'
                                pollwake()
                                  table->triggered = 1
                                                      closes 'fd' thread1 is
                                                        waiting for
    poll_schedule_timeout()
      - sees table->triggered
      table->triggered = 0
      return -EINTR
    loop back in do_select()

But at this point when TASK1 loops back, the fdget() in the setup of
poll_wqueues fails.  So now so we never find 'fd' is ready for reading
and sleep in poll_schedule_timeout() indefinitely.

Treat an fd that got closed as a fd on which some event happened.  This
makes sure cannot block indefinitely in do_select().

Another option would be to return -EBADF in this case but that has a
potential of subtly breaking applications that excercise this behavior
and it happens to work for them.  So returning fd as active seems like a
safer choice.
