[Intel-xe] [PATCH v2 2/2] 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 do a last check out of the loop if
necessary.

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.

v2:
  - Prefer an implementation without a barrier (v1 switched the order of
    xe_mmio_read32() and ktime_get_raw() calls and added a barrier() in
    between). (Lucas, Rodrigo)
