I think WaitEventSet is only required to identify at least one reason
for ending the wait; it is not required to identify all of them.
(Even if it tried to do so, the information could be out of date by
the time it returns.) So I'm not particularly fussed about that,
even if we had code that waited on write-ready for multiple sockets
which I don't believe we do.
