When SSSD is in use, we will intermittently see "I have no name!" in the bash shell prompt.

After extensive debugging, it turned out that we weren't gracefully handling EINTR errors from poll() (which means "I got preempted by the system, try me again).

Fixed by cc235ca

Notes for testing: this only happens intermittently when starting a new gnome-terminal or xterm. This happens because in that environment, setup takes longer and there is a greater window of opportunity for the race condition that this patch eliminates.

Without a reproducible test, this can not be automated.
