[netdrvr 8139too] fast poll for thread, if an unlikely race occurs

The rtl8139 thread is triggered only on rare 8139 hardware, the race
itself is unlikely, and the impact of racing is low.  We don't care
enough to create a more-complex race-free solution.

Rather, if the trylock fails, we now simply poll twice a second until
we do get the lock.
