When running the testsuite in parallel, for instance running make -j
$(nproc) check, occasionally tst-epoll fails with a timeout. It happens
because it sometimes takes a bit more than 10ms for the process to get
cloned and blocked by the syscall. In that case the signal is
sent to early, and the test fails with a timeout.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
epoll_pwait2(2)'s second argument should be nonnull. We're going to add
__nonnull to the prototype, so let's fix the test accordingly. We can
use a dummy variable to avoid passing NULL.

It is similar to epoll_wait, with the difference the timeout has
nanosecond resoluting by using struct timespec instead of int.
Although Linux interface only provides 64 bit time_t support, old
32 bit interface is also provided (so keep in sync with current
practice and to no force opt-in on 64 bit time_t).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
