complex.7: Fix type used in example code

man complex (from release 3.18) contains the following code:
complex z = cexp(I * pi);
Reading the C99 standard, "complex" is not a valid type, and several
compilers (Intel ICC, ARM RVCT) will refuse to compile.
It should be
double complex z = cexp(I * pi);
instead.

poll.2: Remove EBADF error from ERRORS
...
As reported by Motohiro:
"man poll" describe this error code.
>ERRORS
> EBADF An invalid file descriptor was given in one of the sets.
but current kernel implementation ignore invalid file descriptor,
not return EBADF.
...
In the other hand, SUSv3 talk about
> POLLNVAL
> The specified fd value is invalid. This flag is only valid in the
> revents member; it shall ignored in the events member.
and
> If the value of fd is less than 0, events shall be ignored, and
> ireevents shall be set to 0 in that entry on return from poll().
but, no desribe EBADF.
(see http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/poll.html )
So, I think the implementation is correct.
Why don't we remove EBADF description?

fork.2: Document fork() behaviour for the Linux native AIO io_context
...
It was noted on lkml that the fork behaviour is documented
for the POSIX AIO calls, but not for the Linux native calls.
Here is a patch which adds a small blurb that folks will
hopefully find useful.
Upon fork(), the child process does not inherit the
io_context_t data structures returned by io_setup,
and thus cannot submit further asynchronous I/O or
reap event completions for said contexts.
