I'd write 'DQBUF(CAPTURE)' here to emphasize that only the capture
queue will return -EPIPE when you try to dequeue from it.

Also note that the original text was a copy-and-paste from vb2_core_poll().
The phrase 'return immediately' makes sense in that context since that
poll code deals with a single queue. In this case you have two queues,
and 'return immediately' no longer applies (in fact, that effectively is
the bug that being fixed here!).
