When an invalid (non existing) 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 async handler doesn't
handle these error cases currently and the condition in the poll
handler never returns mask with EPOLLIN set.
The result is that the poll call blocks and the application gets stuck
until the user_read_timer wakes it up after 120 sec.
Make sure that error conditions also contribute to the poll mask
so that a correct error code could passed back to the caller.
