Change Low Latency Sockets code for select and poll so that
when LLS is disabled sched_clock() is never called.

Also, avoid sending POLL_LL to sockets if disabled.

Is that a global flag? That's still the wrong level. It should
look at something in the file descriptor (preferably without
fetching any new cache lines)

There is a global flag that decides if we even try to find supported
files (sockets).

If it is on we look to see if anyone will return POLL_LL.
at the individual socket level, you need both the socket option to
be on, and the queue data to be available for it to return POLL_LL.

I wanted to find a way to control this at the time the user calls poll().
I was not able to find any simple way of doing it that way.
I'm open to suggestion.
