We used to busy waiting on the cvq command this tends to be
problematic since there no way for to schedule another process which
may serve for the control virtqueue. This might be the case when the
control virtqueue is emulated by software. This patch switches to use
completion to allow the CPU to sleep instead of busy waiting for the
cvq command.

Changes since V1:
- use completion for simplicity
- don't try to harden the CVQ command which requires more thought
Changes since RFC:
- break the device when timeout
- get buffer manually since the virtio core check more_used() instead
