[PATCH v1] tools/hv: terminate fcopy daemon if read from uio fails

[Olaf Hering <olaf@aepfle.de>]

Terminate endless loop in reading fails, to avoid flooding syslog.

This happens if the "Guest services" integration service is
disabled at runtime in the VM settings.

Also handle an interrupted system call, and continue in this case.

A more complete fix is to handle this properly in the kernel,
by making the file descriptor unavailable for further operations.
