I'm pretty sure these are correct. We certainly don't use sys_select_signal()
anymore..

The direct call to poll() inside smbd/process.c is
a historical holdover from the port from select -> poll
done for 3.6.x.

I'm pretty sure we now no longer need this inside smbd,
but I'll do more investagating to be sure.
