The poll() call is waiting for the descriptor, so it should return as
soon as the timestamp is ready. The option sets the maximum time it
waits.

I'm ok with increasing the default timeout.

As a future improvement, maybe it could be adaptive, e.g. once in a
while try waiting much longer and if that doesn't give a timestamp
stick to a shorter interval. That is, try to detect when the hardware
is not able to timestamp all packets.
