The poll_msec store allows writing 0, which sets the workqueue delay
to 0 jiffies. This causes the poll work to spin without any delay,
consuming 100% CPU on the polling kworker.

The comment has said "must be at least one millisecond" since the file
was first added, but no validation was ever enforced. Add a check for
value < 1 and return -EINVAL.
