[PATCH 1/2] misc: Set generic pselect as ENOSYS


The generic pselect implementation has the very specific race condition
that motived the creation of the pselect syscall (no atomicity in
signal mask set/reset).  Using it as generic implementation is
counterproductive  Also currently only microblaze uses it as fallback
when used on kernel prior 3.15.

This patch moves the generic implementation to a microblaze specific
one, sets the generic internal as a ENOSYS, and cleanups the Linux
generic implementation.

Also, the microblaze generic implementation first try to issue
pselect instead of use the fallback (since it is expect that if
the microblaze usage does rely on pselect, a sufficient updated
kernel will be used).  Microblaze defines __NR_pselect6 for Linux
v3.2, although it was only wire-up on v3.15 (and the syscall number
is the same as previous defined).

Checked with a build against i686-linux-gnu (smoke test) and
microblaze-linux-gnu.
