[PATCH 1/1] Add poll method to mkiss let notify hangup to the user process.

[Jean-Christian de Rivaz]

Without this the application that use the mkiss line discipline have
no way to terminate in case the corresponding serial device is
removed, for example when a USB TNC is unplugged. The application must
wait on poll().

The kissattach application must be patched to take advantage of this
feature.
