iwlwifi: support firmware reset handshake

There are some races in the hardware that can possibly lead to
a bus lockup later during a restart when we manage to kill the
firmware at a bad time (while it's accessing the bus).

To work around this, add support for a new handshake between
firmware and driver to ensure that the firmware is in a well-
known state before we kill it.

When switching op-modes, or more generally when reconfiguring,
we might switch the RB size. In _iwl_pcie_rx_init() we have a
comment saying we must free all RBs since we might switch the
size, but this is actually too late: the switch has been done
and we'll free the buffers with the wrong size.

Fix this by always freeing the buffers, if any, at the start
of configure, instead of only after the size may have changed.

iwlwifi: pcie: use jiffies for memory read spin time limit

[ Upstream commit 6701317476bbfb1f341aa935ddf75eb73af784f9 ]

There's no reason to use ktime_get() since we don't need any better
precision than jiffies, and since we no longer disable interrupts
around this code (when grabbing NIC access), jiffies will work fine.
Use jiffies instead of ktime_get().

This cleanup is preparation for the following patch "iwlwifi: pcie: reschedule
in long-running memory reads". The code gets simpler with the weird clock use
etc. removed before we add cond_resched().

iwlwifi: pcie: limit memory read spin time

When we read device memory, we lock a spinlock, write the address we
want to read from the device and then spin in a loop reading the data
in 32-bit quantities from another register.

As the description makes clear, this is rather inefficient, incurring
a PCIe bus transaction for every read. In a typical device today, we
want to read 786k SMEM if it crashes, leading to 192k register reads.
Occasionally, we've seen the whole loop take over 20 seconds and then
triggering the soft lockup detector.

Clearly, it is unreasonable to spin here for such extended periods of
time.

To fix this, break the loop down into an outer and an inner loop, and
break out of the inner loop if more than half a second elapsed. To
avoid too much overhead, check for that only every 128 reads, though
there's no particular reason for that number. Then, unlock and relock
to obtain NIC access again, reprogram the start address and continue.

This will keep (interrupt) latencies on the CPU down to a reasonable
time.

iwlwifi: read and parse PNVM file

The driver looks for a PNVM file that contains FW configuration data
for each different HW combination. The FW requests the data for a
certain SKU_ID and the driver tries to find it in the PNVM file.

Read the file, parse its contents and send it to the trans.
