This looks good, but would it be possible to add a test for this to
v4l2-compliance? (Look for POLL_MODE_EPOLL in v4l2-test-buffers.cpp)

If I understand this right, calling EPOLL_CTL_ADD for EPOLLPRI, then
calling EPOLL_CTL_ADD for EPOLLIN/OUT would trigger this? Or does there
have to be an epoll_wait call in between?

Another reason for adding this test is that I wonder if regular capture
or output V4L2 devices don't have the same issue.

It's a very subtle bug and so adding a test for this to v4l2-compliance
would be very useful.
