I thought that the fd is nonblocking here. But even if it's not,
how does Emacs determine nbyte parameter? Because I suppose it
should be at most as large as the available data in the fd. If
not, then emacs_intr_read already has the chance of blocking
anyway without the loop.
Also, I have the loop in place for years, and didn't notice any
problems.
