If a selinfo object is recorded (via selrecord()) and then it is quickly destroyed, with the waiters missing the opportunity to awake, at the next iteration they will find the selinfo object destroyed, causing a PF#. That happens because the selinfo interface has no way to drain the waiters before to destroy the registered selinfo object. Also this race is quite rare to get in practice, because it would require a selrecord(), a poll request by another thread and a quick destruction of the selrecord()'ed selinfo object. Fix this by adding the seldrain() routine which should be called before to destroy the selinfo objects (in order to avoid such case), and fix the present cases where it might have already been called. Sometimes, the context is safe enough to prevent this type of race, like it happens in device drivers which installs selinfo objects on poll callbacks. There, the destruction of the selinfo object happens at driver detach time, when all the filedescriptors should be already closed, thus there cannot be a race. For this case, mfi(4) device driver can be set as an example, as it implements a full correct logic for preventing this from happening.
