Commit 4fdc8def changed the ctrl interface socket to be non-blocking,
but didn't update wpa_supplicant_ctrl_iface_send to handle EAGAIN.

If a burst of events are sent, the socket queue can overflow and
sendmsg fails with EAGAIN. When this happens the monitor is silently
detached.

Patch looks OK to me, but since sendmsg uses MSG_DONTWAIT, then it
was always non-blocking and my patch should have not made things any
worse...

Thanks,
Ben

Thanks Ben. Missed the MSG_DONTWAIT. I'll have to look for another 
reason to why this started to happen then. Anyway the patch is still 
valid. I'll update the commit msg.

Cheers,
