Subject: [PATCH] client: don't call select() with invalid timeout

If the system clock was stepped forward after chronyc sent a request and
before it read the clock in order to calculate the receive timeout,
select() could be called with a negative timeout, which resulted in an
infinite loop waiting for select() to succeed.

Fix the submit_request() function to not call select() with a negative
timeout. Also, return immediately on any error of select().
