Subject: [PATCH v3 3/5] fpga manager: xilinx-spi: fix write_complete timeout handling

If this routine sleeps because it was scheduled out, it might miss DONE
going asserted and consider it a timeout. This would potentially make the
code return an error even when programming succeeded. Rewrite the loop to
always check DONE after checking if timeout expired so this cannot happen
anymore.

While there, also add error checking for gpiod_get_value(). Also avoid
checking the DONE GPIO in two places, which would make the error-checking
code duplicated and more annoying.

The new loop it written to still guarantee that we apply 8 extra CCLK
cycles after DONE has gone asserted, which is required by the hardware.

Changes in v3:
 - completely rewrite the loop after Tom pointed out the 'sleep' bug

This patch is new in v2
