[PATCH v2 14/21] gpu: nova-core: add helper function to wait on condition

While programming the hardware, we frequently need to busy-wait until
a condition (like a given bit of a register to switch value) happens.

Add a basic `wait_on` helper function to wait on such conditions
expressed as a closure, with a timeout argument.

This is temporary as we will switch to `read_poll_timeout` [1] once it
is available.
