pipe->poll_usage was added to ensure that edge-triggered epoll consumers
get a wakeup on every write, even if the pipe was already non-empty.
However, none of the existing epoll_wakeup_test cases cover this; the
test suite passes even with WRITE_ONCE(pipe->poll_usage, true) removed.

Add a test that writes twice to a pipe and verifies that epoll_wait with
EPOLLET reports data each time. This covers the pipe-specific per-write
wakeup behavior that edge-triggered consumers depend on.

Sashiko suggests to check the results of pipe() and write() as well:

Not sure this makes sense, but I'll send V2 just in case.

Oleg.
