[PATCH 4.19 01/84] hidraw: Return EPOLLOUT from hidraw_poll

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Fabian Henneke <fabian.henneke@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 378b80370aa1fe50f9c48a3ac8af3e416e73b89f ]

Always return EPOLLOUT from hidraw_poll when a device is connected.
This is safe since writes are always possible (but will always block).

hidraw does not support non-blocking writes and instead always calls
blocking backend functions on write requests. Hence, so far, a call to
poll never returned EPOLLOUT, which confuses tools like socat.
