At least for me, this improves the readability of xread and xwrite; hopefully allowing missing "continue" statements to be spotted more easily.

  Done, also updated the subject to match the new function name.
  I wasn't attached to the "io_wait" name, either, as it could
  be confused with "I/O wait" commonly associated with disk I/O
  and not often with socket/pipe I/O that poll gets used for.
