util: fix race condition in WaitForFile
enable polling also when using inotify. It is generally useful to have it as under high load inotify can lose notifications. It also solves a race condition where the file is created while the watcher is configured and it'd wait until the timeout and fail. Closes: https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues/2942 Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Scrivano <gscrivan@redhat.com>
