[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] migration: Clean up use of g_poll() in socket_writev_buffer()

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>]

socket_writev_buffer() writes in a loop, using g_poll() to block.  If
g_poll() fails, it tries to write more before the file descriptor is
ready.  In theory, this could go into a tight loop.  In practice,
errors other than EINTR are really unlikely, and when they happen,
we're probably screwed anyway, so we can just as well loop.

Clean it up a bit: retry poll on EINTR, keep ignoring other errors.

Let me stress once again: this is *not* a bug fix, it's cleanup!  If
you don't like it, you can safely ignore it.  We'll then mark the spot
as intentional in the Coverity dashboard.
