When tap_passt_input() gets an error from recv() it (correctly) does not print any error message for EINTR, EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK. However in all three cases it returns from the function. That makes sense for EAGAIN and EWOULDBLOCK, since we then want to wait for the next EPOLLIN event before trying again. For EINTR, however, it makes more sense to retry immediately - as it stands we're likely to get a renewer EPOLLIN event immediately in that case, since we're using level triggered signalling. So, handle EINTR separately by immediately retrying until we succeed or get a different type of error.
