Subject: [PATCH v4] net: ocelot: fix wrong time_after usage

Accidentally noticed, that this driver is the only user of
while (time_after(jiffies...)).

It looks like typo, because likely this while loop will finish after 1st
iteration, because time_after() returns true when 1st argument _is after_
2nd one.

There is one possible problem with this poll loop: the scheduler could put
the thread to sleep, and it does not get woken up for
OCELOT_FDMA_CH_SAFE_TIMEOUT_US. During that time, the hardware has done
its thing, but you exit the while loop and return -ETIMEDOUT.

Fix it by using sane poll API that avoids all problems described above

Fixes: 753a026cfec1 ("net: ocelot: add FDMA support")

	  Andrew
