esp32: return from receive_events once drained

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -70,6 +70,8 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0
 - Fixed several underallocation issues that could trigger data corruption on `binary:replace`, `zlib:compress` and bsd socket recv code.
 - Fixed a bug where `catch` would raise on regular atom results
 - Fixed ESP32 socket driver holding the global socket-list lock across blocking TCP connects, leaking the port on connect failure, losing concurrent `accept` waiters, leaking `netbuf` on receive error paths, and a recycled-`netconn` race between socket close and the event handler
+- Fixed the ESP32 event poller re-blocking after running a listener, which could delay a process
+  readied by a driver (e.g. an active-mode socket message) until the next event or timer tick
