Always return EPOLLOUT from hidraw_poll when a device is connected. This is safe since writes are always possible (but will always block). hidraw does not support non-blocking writes and instead always calls blocking backend functions on write requests. Hence, so far, a call to poll never returned EPOLLOUT, which confuses tools like socat.
