[PATCH v3 5/5] stream_pvr: allow initial latency when opening stream

When opening an hdpvr device, there may be a significant delay before
first receiving data, especially at higher bitrates. This can cause
mplayer to time out and exit.

Move the existing device polling code to a static function. Use a
generous 5 second timeout for the first read of the stream.

 v3:
  * Move the "first" flag into struct pvr_t, so there is one per device.

 v2:
  * Add "Waiting for stream to begin..." message.
  * Instead of adding a new poll in pvr_stream_open, use a longer timeout for
    the first poll pvr_stream_read does.
  * Return -1 on poll timeout.
