Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 4/4] drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_client.c: Improve the failure processing for __xenbus_switch_state()

When failure occurs, need return failure code instead of 0, or the upper
caller will misunderstand.

Also when retry for EAGAIN reason, better to schedule out for a while,
so can let others have chance to continue their tasks (especially,
their tasks are related EAGAIN under UP kernel).

I'd suggest you use schedule() here.
