Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] spi: tegra210-quad: Check hardware status on timeout

Under high system load, QSPI interrupts can be delayed or blocked on the
target CPU, causing wait_for_completion_timeout() to report failure even
though the hardware successfully completed the transfer.

When a timeout occurs, check the QSPI_RDY bit in QSPI_TRANS_STATUS to
determine if the hardware actually completed the transfer. If so, manually
invoke the completion handler to process the transfer successfully instead
of failing it.

This distinguishes lost/delayed interrupts from real hardware timeouts,
preventing unnecessary failures of transfers that completed successfully.
