Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 7e922b0584 sd-event: let sd_event_source_set_enabled accept NULL
Same story as before: disabling a non-existent event source shouldn't
need to be guarded by an if. I retained the wrapper so that that we don't
have to say SD_EVENT_OFF in the many places where this is called.

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> may be used to enable or disable the event
source object specified as <parameter>source</parameter>. The <parameter>enabled</parameter> parameter
takes one of <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> (to enable), <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> (to disable)
or <constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>. If invoked with <constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant> the event
source will be enabled but automatically reset to <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> after one dispatch.
For <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>, the event source <parameter>source</parameter> may be
<constant>NULL</constant>, in which case the function does nothing. Otherwise,
<parameter>source</parameter> must be a valid pointer to an <structname>sd_event_source</structname>
object.</para>
<para>Event sources that are disabled will not result in event
loop wakeups and will not be dispatched, until they are enabled
again.</para>
<para><function>sd_event_source_get_enabled()</function> may be used to query whether the event source
object <parameter>source</parameter> is currently enabled or not. If both the
<parameter>source</parameter> and the output parameter <parameter>enabled</parameter> are
<constant>NULL</constant>, this function returns false. Otherwise, <parameter>source</parameter> must be
a valid pointer to an <structname>sd_event_source</structname> object. If the output parameter
<parameter>enabled</parameter> is not <constant>NULL</constant>, it is set to the enablement state (one
of <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>, <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>,
<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>). The function also returns true if the event source is not
disabled.</para>
<para>Event source objects are enabled when they are first created
with calls such as
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. However,
depending on the event source type they are enabled continuously
(<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>) or only for a single invocation
of the event source handler
(<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>). For details see the
respective manual pages.</para>
<para>As event source objects stay active and may be dispatched as
long as there is at least one reference to them, in many cases it
is a good idea to combine a call to
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
with a prior call to
<function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> with
<constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>, to ensure the event source is
not dispatched again until all other remaining references are dropped.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>sd_event_source_set_enabled()</function> returns a non-negative
integer. <function>sd_event_source_get_enabled()</function> returns zero if the source is disabled
(<constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>) and a positive integer otherwise. On failure, they return a negative
errno-style error code.</para>
