->get_poll_head returns the waitqueue that the poll operation is going to sleep on. Note that this means we can only use a single waitqueue for the poll, unlike some current drivers that use two waitqueues for different events. But now that we have keyed wakeups and heavily use those for poll there aren't that many good reason left to keep the multiple waitqueues, and if there are any ->poll is still around, the driver just won't support aio poll.
