The script counts returns from poll() where no file descriptor is ready.
 This is no count of all poll() calls.

Note, that all calls in a process regardless of whether it's in the
binary or a DSO is counted.

Of course there could be a problem with systemtap but I doubt it
actually, the script is simple.
