[PATCH] socket: websocket refresh of max_size outside of poll

[Anisse Astier]

Because serial backend readiness isn't checked, the socket frontend (in
websocket mode) would send new characters before previous characters
were consumed. This lead to skipped characters, or worse, SysRq keys
being triggered.

This patch ensures the readable size is refreshed before consuming any
data. Normally, this size is refreshed in the event loop by the glib
prepare io_watch_poll_prepare; but since the websocket reader is a
greedy one to decode the websocket protocol, (whereas tcp one ready
bytes as necessary), there's nothing to read or poll, so the max_size
wouldn't be refreshed.
