kernel/poll: Move "_poller" into thread struct, fix COHERENCE collision
Fix the issue where the kernel poll code would place the tracking
struct on the caller stack and share it with other threads, thus
creating a cache coherence issue on systems where KERNEL_COHERENCE is
enabled.
This works by eliminating the thread backpointer in struct _poller and
simply placing the (now just two-byte!) struct directly into the
thread struct.
Note that this doesn't attempt to fix the API paradigm that the
natural way to structure a call to k_poll() is to use an array of
k_poll_events on the CALLER's stack. So it's likely that most
"typical" k_poll code is still going to have problems with
KERNEL_COHERENCE. But at least now the kernel internals aren't
fundamentally broken.
