The cobalt driver is the only driver that uses VB2_BUF_STATE_REQUEUEING. Replace it by VB2_BUF_STATE_ERROR so we can drop support for the REQUEUEING state. The requeueing state was used in the cobalt driver to optimize buffer handling while waiting for a valid signal: by requeueing buffers internally there was no need for userspace to handle and requeue buffers with the ERROR flag set. However, requeueing also makes the buffer handling unordered, which is generally a bad idea. Requeueing also does not work with requests and any future fence support. Since it is really a minor optimization in the cobalt driver it is best to just return the buffer in an ERROR state. With this change support for requeueing can now be removed in vb2.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
