You can't use 'cur' to tell if the interrupt arrived. single_task_running()
can break us out of the loop before 'stop'.

Put this line before the if(). block_ns should always include the time
spent polling; even if polling does not succeed.

How about something like:

If you want, you can leave this if() out and save some indentation.

Then we will miss the tracepoint.
