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.

* [PATCH v2 2/2] EDAC/device: Don't re-arm workqueue during teardown

edac_device_del_device() stops the workqueue then removes the sysfs
attributes.  However, writing to poll_msec triggers
edac_device_reset_delay_period(), which unconditionally re-arms the
workqueue.  If writes occur during that window, the re-armed work
runs after edac_dev has been freed.

Fix this by checking op_state in reset_delay_period().  del_device()
already sets it to OP_OFFLINE before tearing down the workqueue, so
the new guard causes reset_delay_period() to skip mod_work() when
the device is being removed.
