transport: Add blocking recv calls to uhd-dpdk
This adds an internal wait queue API to uhd-dpdk. Socket configuration requests had their blocking calls re-implemented on top of this API, and it is also used to service requests to wait on RX packets (w/ timeout). The wait API involves a multi-producer, single-consumer queue per I/O thread (waiter_ring), with a condition variable used for sleeping. The data structure is shared between user thread and I/O thread, and because timeouts make resource release time non-deterministic, we use reference counting on the shared resource. One reference is generated by the user thread and passed to the I/O thread to consume. A user thread that still needs the data after waking must get() another reference, to postpone the destruction of the resource until it is done. Timeouts are based on CLOCK_MONOTONIC. For recv, a timeout of 0 indicates blocking indefinitely, and a negative timeout indicates no timeout is desired. Also drop timeout for closing sockets in uhd-dpdk. The timeout would allow a user thread to pre-empt the I/O thread's cleanup process. The user thread would free data structures the I/O thread still needed to function. Since this timeout is superfluous anyway, let's just get rid of it. Also add some more input checking and error reporting.
