When an invalid (non exitsinting) handle is used in a tpm command, that uses the resource manager interface (/dev/tpmrm0) the resource manager tries to load it from its internal cache, but fails and returns an -EINVAL error to the caller. The existing async handler doesn't handle these error cases currently and the condition in the poll handler never returns mask with EPOLLIN set causing the userspace code to get stack. Make sure that error conditions also contribute to the poll mask so that a correct error code could passed back to the caller.
