trace-cmd/msg: Use poll(2) to wait for a message

Use poll(2) to wait for a message. If a client/server cannot send a message for
any reasons, the current server/client will wait in a blocking read operation.
So, we use poll(2) for avoiding remaining in a blocking state.

Changes in V4: Change the argument of tracecmd_msg_recv_wait()
               Fix some typos
