dev: replace pollevent in ethertap

This patch removes PollEvent from ethertap for receiving incoming Ethernet
packets from real world. Instead of PollEvent, it make ethertap socket
non-blocking and checks for incoming packets every "poll_rate" ticks.

The problem with pollevent is that it does not capture incoming packets
immediately and causes late packet reception when we use ethertap in pd-gem5
