Seen cases where ESX is under heavy load and the toolbox session
cookie is invalidated by the vmx.
This change will backoff the polling loop and also re-open the message
channel to get a new session cookie.
On the guest side, this resulted in a flood of:
Message: Unable to send a message over the communication channel 0
Message: Unable to poll for messages over the communication channel 0
On the vmx site (vmware.log), this resulted in a flood of:
GuestMsg: Channel 0, Protocol error, state: 0
GuestMsg: channel 0: wrong cookie, discarding message.
