[chrony-dev] Patch: avoid infinite select() loop on chronyc

["Gafton, Cristian" <gafton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When chronyc attempts to chat over the control socket with chronyd, if for whatever reason the first communication attempt fails, chronyc will end up in a permanent loop trying and failing to communicate. This is because in the submit_request() function the select() loop break-exit failsafes are protected by a new_attempt flag which is cleared on the first try and never updated again. The attached patch attampts one way of fixing this..

Thank you,

Cristian
