staging: usbip: vhci: handle EAGAIN from SO_RCVTIMEO
If there is a receive timeout without any active requests, we can tell the connection was idle and ignore the timeout. If there are active requests for which we expect to receive a reply we close the connection. This makes it possible to set an upper bound on the time a usbip device may be unresponsive. This is a workaround for the lack of heart-beat messages in the USBIP protocol. Extending the protocol would break compatibility with all previous stub versions, so this seems like the lesser evil.
