Better, but still hell of a hack. Maybe we could add a quirks
flag and add a flag like:
VB2_FLAG_ENABLE_POLLERR_IF_WAITING_BUFFERS_AND_NO_QBUF
(or some better naming, I'm not inspired today...)
Of course, such quirk should be properly documented.

Actually, the first callback would be better called as
vb2_core_poll_check() - or something with similar name.
IMHO, this is the cleaner solution, although it adds an extra cost.
