Subject: [PATCH V2] staging: fieldbus: anybus-s: consolidate wait_for_completion_timeout return handling

wait_for_completion_timeout() returns unsigned long (0 on timeout or
remaining jiffies) not int - so rather than introducing an additional
variable simply wrap the completion into an if().

Problem located with experimental API conformance checking cocci script

V2: The original patch's logic was wrong as it was skipping the 
    fall-through if so using the fix proposed by Sven Van Asbroeck 
    <thesven73@...il.com> - This solution also eliminates the need
    to introduce an additional variable - Thanks !

Patch was compile-tested with. x86_64_defconfig + FIELDBUS_DEV=m,
HMS_ANYBUSS_BUS=m
(with an unrelated sparse warnings (cast to restricted __be16))

Patch is against 5.1-rc6 (localversion-next is next-20190426)
