freebsd_network: Handle published conditions with timeout 0.

Previously, since we passed B_RELATIVE_TIMEOUT unconditionally,
a timeout of 0 would mean that it would return as soon as there was
CPU time available (so, usually, instantly.) This usually was not
a "problem" in that it caused broken behavior, but it would result
in exceptionally high CPU usage.

At first I implemented this correctly (i.e. a timeout of 0 will block
until explicitly woken up) but then discovered that our implementation
of these functions creates subtle race conditions compared to their
FreeBSD counterparts, and so to avoid deadlocks, a timeout of 1 second
is imposed. For situations where there are deadlocks due to race
conditions, this will make them painfully obvious (e.g. all network
transfers stalling for a second every 2-3 seconds or so.)
