poll-loop: Enable checking whether a FD caused a wakeup.

Each time we run through the poll loop, we check all file descriptors
that we were waiting on to see if there is data available.  However,
this requires a system call and poll already provides information on
which FDs caused the wakeup so it is inefficient as the number of
active FDs grows.  This provides a way to check whether a given FD
has data.
