tasklet_wakeup_on() and its derivates (tasklet_wakeup_after() and
tasklet_wakeup()) do not support passing a wakeup cause like
task_wakeup(). This is essentially due to an API limitation cause by
the fact that for a very long time the only reason for waking up was
to process pending I/O. But with the growing complexity of mux tasks,
it is becoming important to be able to skip certain heavy processing
when not strictly needed.
One possibility is to permit the caller of tasklet_wakeup() to pass
flags like task_wakeup(). Instead of going with a complex naming scheme,
let's simply make the flags optional and be zero when not specified. This
means that tasklet_wakeup_on() now takes either 2 or 3 args, and that the
third one is the optional flags to be passed to the callee. Eligible flags
are essentially the non-persistent ones (TASK_F_UEVT* and TASK_WOKEN_*)
which are cleared when the tasklet is executed. This way the handler
will find them in its <state> argument and will be able to distinguish
various causes for the call.
