Vincent Donnefort f5f6332f18 ring-buffer: Clean ring_buffer_poll_wait() error return ...

commit 66bbea9ed6 upstream.

The return type for ring_buffer_poll_wait() is __poll_t. This is behind
the scenes an unsigned where we can set event bits. In case of a
non-allocated CPU, we do return instead -EINVAL (0xffffffea). Lucky us,
this ends up setting few error bits (EPOLLERR | EPOLLHUP | EPOLLNVAL), so
user-space at least is aware something went wrong.

Nonetheless, this is an incorrect code. Replace that -EINVAL with a
proper EPOLLERR to clean that output. As this doesn't change the
behaviour, there's no need to treat this change as a bug fix.
