Subject: [PATCH 2/3] platform/x86: intel_scu_ipc: Check status upon timeout in ipc_wait_for_interrupt()

It's possible for the completion in ipc_wait_for_interrupt() to timeout,
simply because the interrupt was delayed in being processed. A timeout
in itself is not an error. This driver should check the status register
upon a timeout to ensure that scheduling or interrupt processing delays
don't affect the outcome of the IPC return value.

 ----                                                   ---
 ipc_wait_for_interrupt()
  wait_for_completion_timeout(&scu->cmd_complete)
  [TIMEOUT]                                             status[IPC_BUSY]=0

Fix this problem by reading the status bit in all cases, regardless of
the timeout. If the completion times out, we'll assume the problem was
that the IPC_BUSY bit was still set, but if the status bit is cleared in
the meantime we know that we hit some scheduling delay and we should
just check the error bit.
