Subject: [PATCH net 1/3] net/mlx5: Stop polling for command response if interface goes down

From: Moshe Shemesh <moshe@...dia.com>

Stop polling on firmware response to command in polling mode if the
command interface got down. This situation can occur, for example, if a
firmware fatal error is detected during polling.

This change halts the polling process when the command interface goes
down, preventing unnecessary waits.

Fixes: b898ce7bccf1 ("net/mlx5: cmdif, Avoid skipping reclaim pages if FW is not accessible")
