If for any reason the interrupt enable for an ap queue fails the state machine run for the queue returned wrong return codes to the caller. So the caller assumed interrupt support for this queue in enabled and thus did not re-establish the high resolution timer used for polling. In the end this let to a hang for the user space process waiting "forever" for the reply. This patch reworks these return codes to return correct indications for the caller to re-establish the timer when a queue runs without interrupt support. Please note that this is fixing a wrong behavior after a first failure (enable interrupt support for the queue) failed. However, looks like this occasionally happens on KVM systems.

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.
