Do not sleep in poll() when the need_wakeup flag is set. When this
flag is set, the application needs to explicitly wake up the driver
with a syscall (poll, recvmsg, sendmsg, etc.) to guarantee that Rx
and/or Tx processing will be processed promptly. But the current code
in poll(), sleeps first then wakes up the driver. This means that no
driver processing will occur (baring any interrupts) until the timeout
has expired.

Fix this by checking the need_wakeup flag first and if set, wake the
driver and return to the application. Only if need_wakeup is not set
should the process sleep if there is a timeout set in the poll() call.
