[media] lirc_zilog: Don't acquire the rx->buf_lock in the poll() func…

…tion

There is no need to take the rx->buf_lock in the the poll() function
as all the underling calls made on objects in the rx->buf lirc_buffer object
are protected by spinlocks.

Corrected a bad error return value in poll(): return POLLERR instead
of -ENODEV.

Added some comments to poll() for when, in the future, I forget what
poll() and poll_wait() are supposed to do.
