DeviceReadBuffer: limit poll timeouts

Reported by: jppoet@… Owned by: danielk
Priority: minor Milestone: unknown

Description

The attached patch will limit the number of consecutive poll timeouts.

Old behavior would just loop forever. New behavior is to enter an error state. This gives the "recorder" an opportunity to reset the device.

I also have a patch which causes the DeviceReadBuffer? to continue to read from the device even when the buffer is full, but it needs more testing. It will apply on top of DeviceReadBuffer?-polltimeout.patch

I am going to split DeviceReadBuffer?-polltimeout.patch into two pieces. A polltimeout piece, and a mutex refactoring piece. So, don't bother to commit the current patch, as is.

Decided against splitting this into two patches, so just attached a refresh against trunk.

(In [20617]) Fixes #5604. Error out in DeviceReadBuffer? can't read from a device for a few seconds instead of looping forever waiting for the device to respond.
