There exists a race when msg_submit return immediately as there was an
active request being processed which may have completed just before it's
checked again in mbox_send_message. This will result in return to the
caller without waiting in mbox_send_message even when it's blocking Tx.
This patch fixes the issue by making use of non-negative token returned
by add_to_rbuf to check if the request was queued and block always if
so in blocking Tx mode.

What do you think about removing t>=0 at all?
If add_to_rbuf() above returns negative number then we won't reach this point
in code at all and quit this function with error. If execution reaches this line then
we can say that t is definetely >= 0 and maybe it shouldn't be checked.
Best regards,
Alexey
