Reads all the events off the queue, so we can use select in wait_for_backend(int,int).

static bool wait_for_backend	(	int	fd,
		int	timeout_ms
	)			[static]

Waits for backend to get tune message.

With linux 2.6.12 or later this should block until the backend is tuned to the proper frequency.

With earlier kernels sleeping for timeout_ms may save us.

Waiting for DVB events has been tried, but this fails with several DVB cards. They either don't send the required events or delete them from the event queue before we can read the event.

Using a FE_GET_FRONTEND has also been tried, but returns the old data until a 2 sec timeout elapses on at least one DVB card.

We do not block until we have a lock, the signal monitor does that.

Parameters:

	fd	frontend file descriptor
	timeout_ms	timeout before FE_READ_STATUS in milliseconds
