Subject: iio: buffer: check if a buffer has been set up when poll is called

From: Stefan Windfeldt-Prytz <stefan.windfeldt@axis.com>

commit 4cd140bda6494543f1c1b0ccceceaa44b676eef6 upstream.

If no iio buffer has been set up and poll is called return 0.
Without this check there will be a null pointer dereference when
calling poll on a iio driver without an iio buffer.
