It's called when worker->repoll_cmd_ring == CMD_RING_POLL_RETRIES, in this case the counter
will be incremented or not based on worker->qxl->st->qif->req_cursor_notification result.
Yes, the code is not really clear.
I also don't like these kind of polling, but this is another issue.
The current pollings are 200 each 10 milliseconds which means it continue polling if no
activities for 2 seconds. The guest should fill the buffer then signal the card, if there
are no commands there should be no polling. Looks like this code is here to handle some
buggy drivers which do not signal the card correctly.
