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

[Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>]

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 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 a signal.
