Only when calling the poll syscall the first time can user receive POLLPRI correctly. After that, user always fails to acquire the event signal.
Reproduce case: 1. Get the monitor code in Documentation/accounting/psi.txt 2. Run it, and wait for the event triggered. 3. Kill and restart the process. If the user doesn't kill the monitor process, it seems the poll_work works fine. After killing and restarting the monitor, the poll_work in kernel will never run again due to the wrong value of poll_scheduled. Therefore, we should reset the value as group_init() does after the last trigger is destroyed.
