Subject: [PATCH 3.18 06/13] iio: buffer: check if a buffer has been set up when poll is called

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stefan Windfeldt-Prytz <stefan.windfeldt@...s.com>

commit 4cd140bda6494543f1c1b0ccceceaa44b676eef6 upstream.

If no iio buffer has been set up and poll is called return 0.
Without this check there will be a null pointer dereference when
calling poll on a iio driver without an iio buffer.
