Subject: [PATCH v2 6/7] soc: microchip: mpfs: simplify error handling in mpfs_blocking_transaction()

The error handling has a kinda weird nested-if setup that is not really
adding anything. Switch it to more of an early return arrangement as a
predatory step for adding different handing for timeouts and failed
services.
