Subject: [PATCH 4.17 25/42] ALSA: seq: Fix poll() error return

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

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

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit a49a71f6e25da2acc637fcd31e73debd96ca18f8 upstream.

The sanity checks in ALSA sequencer and OSS sequencer emulation codes
return falsely -ENXIO from poll callback.  They should be EPOLLERR
instead.

This was caught thanks to the recent change to the return value.
