/** \brief Send signal to stop concurrently running memif_poll_event().

    The function, however, does not wait for memif_poll_event() to stop.

    or the timeout has elapsed, but if called repeatedly in an infinite loop,
    a canceled memif_poll_event() is guaranted to return MEMIF_ERR_POLL_CANCEL
    in the shortest possible time.
    This feature was not available in the first release.
