[PATCH 09/10] staging: wfx: ensure HIF request has been sent before polling

[Jerome Pouiller <Jerome.Pouiller@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@xxxxxxxxxx>

wfx_bh_request_tx() send HIF request asynchronously through bh_work().
Then the caller will run wfx_bh_poll_irq() to poll the answer.

However it useless to burn CPU cycles for the polling while the request
has yet been sent. Worse, wfx_bh_poll_irq() may get the CPU and prevent
wfx_bh_request_tx() to run. This problem has been observed on mono core
architecture.

This first exchange is correct:
    kworker/u2:1-24    [000] ....    : io_read32: CONTROL: 00003000
    kworker/u2:1-24    [000] ....    : io_read32: CONTROL: 00003000
    kworker/u2:1-24    [000] ....    : io_read32: CONTROL: 00003004

... while the following is not:
    kworker/u2:1-24    [000] ....    : io_read32: CONTROL: 00003000
    kworker/u2:1-24    [000] ....    : io_read32: CONTROL: 00003000
    kworker/u2:1-24    [000] ....    : io_read32: CONTROL: 00003000
    [...loop until timeout...]
