3.16.83-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 378b80370aa1fe50f9c48a3ac8af3e416e73b89f upstream.
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.
