See include/linux/poll.h, where the limit is of the order of 800 bytes
and the number of entries in an on stack array is chosen at compile time
(different between 32 and 64 bit for example).
The values are used in do_sys_poll, which, with almost 1000 bytes of
stack footprint, appears close to the top of "make checkstack". In
addition do_sys_poll has to call the ->poll function of every file
descriptor in its table, so it is not a tail function.
This 264 bytes array looks reasonable, but please use 'make checkstack'
to verify that the function's total stack usage stays within reason.
