For a proper timeout loop you have to check the condition once after the
timeout, like this:

	while (1) {
		if (condition)
			break;
		if (time_after())
			break;
	}

	if (condition)
		res = OK;
	else
		res = -ETIMEDOUT;

Otherwise you risk being scheduled away after checking the condition but
before checking the timeout.
