David Xu 12a480fa41 When a thread is blocked in direct write state, it only sets PIPE_DIRECTW
flag but not PIPE_WANTW, but FIFO pipe code does not understand this internal
state, when a FIFO peer reader closes the pipe, it wants to notify the writer,
it checks PIPE_WANTW, if not set, it skips calling wakeup(), so blocked writer
never noticed the case, but in general, the writer should return from the
syscall with EPIPE error code and may get SIGPIPE signal. Setting the
PIPE_WANTW fixed problem, or you can turn off direct write, it should fix the
problem too. This bug is found by PR/170203.

Another bug in FIFO pipe code is when peer closes the pipe, another end which
is being blocked in select() or poll() is not notified, it missed to call
pipeselwakeup().

Third problem is found in poll regression test, the existing code can not
pass 6b,6c,6d tests, but FreeBSD-4 works. This commit does not fix the
problem, I still need to study more to find the cause.
