Sure. Just wanted to wait for confirmation from Eugene.

Fix NULL pointer dereference in tun_chr_pool() introduced by
commit 33dccbb050bbe35b88ca8cf1228dcf3e4d4b3554 and triggered
by this code:

	int fd;
	struct pollfd pfd;
	fd = open("/dev/net/tun", O_RDWR);
	pfd.fd = fd;
	pfd.events = POLLIN | POLLOUT;
	poll(&pfd, 1, 0);
