4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@xxxxxx>

commit be28c1e3ca29887e207f0cbcd294cefe5074bab6 upstream.

kgdb expects poll function to return immediately and
returning NO_POLL_CHAR when no character is available.
