Why I did it
Correct get_change_event() wait and timeout mechanism to avoid high CPU utilization.
How I did it
Make sure get_change_event() behaves as documentation said, it can block the caller and handle timeout appropriately.
How to verify it
In pmon,
Use top to measure CPU usage of xcvrd. Make a comparison to confirm the improvement on CPU usage.
Code a script to keep polling get_change_event() and see if the returned data is exactly what we expect.
