Pull out the tail portion that is invariant for T into a separate function.
Motivation
This reduces the size of the built binaries for crates that use Tokio and target minimal code size.
Solution
The Rust compiler generates a separate copy of LLVM IR for each instantiation of templated functions. That means that code in a templated function that doesn't depend on the template types can be needlessly duplicated. The tail of
Timeout::pollis one such function. Pulling the code that doesn't depend on the typeTout into a separate function lets the compiler emit it once instead of once for each instantiation ofTimeout.
