The V4L2 specification states that "When the application did not call VIDIOC_QBUF or VIDIOC_STREAMON yet the poll() function succeeds, but sets the POLLERR flag in the revents field." The vb2_poll() function sets POLLERR when the queued buffers list is empty, regardless of whether this is caused by the stream not being active yet, or by a transient buffer underrun. Bring the implementation in line with the specification by returning POLLERR only when the queue is not streaming. Buffer underruns during streaming are not treated specially anymore and just result in poll() blocking until the next event.
