xenbus: avoid zero returns from read()

Browse source 
It is possible to get a zero return from read() in instances where the
queue is not empty but has no elements with data to deliver to the user.
Since a zero return from read is an error indicator, resume waiting or
return -EAGAIN (for a nonblocking fd) in this case.
