    drm/xe/mmio: Make xe_mmio_wait32() aware of interrupts
    
    With the current implementation, a preemption or other kind of interrupt
    might happen between xe_mmio_read32() and ktime_get_raw(). Such an
    interruption (specially in the case of preemption) might be long enough
    to cause a timeout without giving a chance of a new check on the
    register value on a next iteration, which would have happened otherwise.
    
    This issue causes some sporadic timeouts in some code paths. As an
    example, we were experiencing some rare timeouts when waiting for PLL
    unlock for C10/C20 PHYs (see intel_cx0pll_disable()). After debugging,
    we found out that the PLL unlock was happening within the expected time
    period (20us), which suggested a bug in xe_mmio_wait32().
    
    To fix the issue, ensure that we call ktime_get_raw() to get the current
    time before we check the register value. This allows for a last check
    after a timeout and covers the case where the it is caused by some
    preemption/interrupt.
    
    This change was tested with the aforementioned PLL unlocking code path.
    Experiments showed that, before this change, we observed reported
    timeouts in 54 of 5000 runs; and, after this change, no timeouts were
    reported in 5000 runs.
