Process pending subscriptions via try_recv() loop 2. Block on socket recv().await In a single-threaded runtime, if a subscription message arrived while the task was blocked on socket recv(), it would never be processed. When the ICMP reply arrived, it was discarded because the subscriber wasn't registered yet. This fix uses poll_fn to poll both the subscription channel and socket within the same waker context, ensuring we wake on either event. This is required for single-threaded runtimes where we can't rely on concurrent execution of the background task.
