commit b851ecf1aa048e51439e3be631cd19ca84e4dc5a
Author: lurchi <address@hidden>

    Remove busy waiting checks
    
    Busy waiting should never happen (at least the shutdown pipe is always
    there for the driver to wait for).
    When busy waiting happens, i.e. GNUNET_SCHEDULER_run_from_driver is
    called without any task ready, it is a programming error (at least I
    don't know any valid use case for busy waiting).
    Hence, remove the busy waiting checks and let
    GNUNET_SCHEDULER_run_from_driver return GNUNET_SYSERR instead in this
    case.
