With timeout the mei_gfx_memory_ready may now fail gracefully
and we should not move state if message is not sent.
Should I split this fix into another patch or document in this one?

The timeout has no effect for non-blocking writes (bit in mode parameter),
as they are returning immediately and are not waiting at all.

The MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT indicates 'forever' - will add it in KDoc
This is implementation of Rodrigo's suggestion to use only wait with timeout but with
maximum one if 'forever' is required.

There are only two callers for mei_cl_write now, one with timeout and another without.
Don't think that we need wrapper that has one caller, and no additions are planned.
The __mei_cl_write_timeout may be called by more than one user.
This patch converts one caller, but it is open for other callers in future.
