Bug in compat_ppoll

Hi,

When I was cross-compiling Bluez for a system without the ppoll() system
call, I've found a bug on you ppoll() stub, compat_ppoll(), that causes
rfcomm to eat all CPU power when called in this way:

$ rfcomm listen 0 1 <cmd>

After the RFCOMM connection is established and the command is executed
the CPU load reaches 100%.

This patch solved my problem:

diff -Naur bluez-utils-3.27.orig/common/ppoll.h

 }
