Subject: [PATCH 4/4] virtio-net: sleep instead of busy waiting for cvq command

We used to busy waiting on the cvq command this tends to be
problematic since:

1) CPU could wait for ever on a buggy/malicous device
2) There's no wait to terminate the process that triggers the cvq
   command

So this patch switch to use virtqueue_wait_for_used() to sleep with a
timeout (1s) instead of busy polling for the cvq command forever. This
gives the scheduler a breath and can let the process can respond to
asignal. If the device doesn't respond in the timeout, break the
device.

Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@...hat.com>

Changes since V1:
- break the device when timeout
- get buffer manually since the virtio core check more_used() instead
