Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] PCI: Correct error reporting with PCIe failed link
 retraining

Only return successful completion status from `pcie_failed_link_retrain' 
if retraining has actually been done, preventing excessive delays from 
being triggered at call sites in a hope that communication will finally 
be established with the downstream device where in fact nothing has been 
done about the link in question that would justify such a hope.

Fixes: a89c82249c37 ("PCI: Work around PCIe link training failures")

No changes from v2.

Changes from v1 (superseding 1/2):

- Regenerate on top of 2/4.

- Reword the comment update for clarity.

- Go back to returning explicit FALSE rather than `ret' where it is known 
  that we failed.
