[PATCH spice-server v5 1/8] stream-device: Avoid device to get stuck if multiple messages are batched

[Frediano Ziglio <fziglio@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If messages are sent together by the agent the device is reading
only part of the data. This cause Qemu to not poll for new data and
stream_device_read_msg_from_dev won't be called again.
This can cause a stall. To avoid this continue handling data
after a full message was processed.
