Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ath10k: core: drop check for impossible negative return case

fixup ath10k_wmi_wait_for_service_ready and
ath10k_wmi_wait_for_unified_ready return >=0 but never
negative as they are just passing on the return value from
wait_for_completion_timeout - so the error check should be
against equality to 0 not <= 0.

Note that the code behavior is correct even with the current <= 0 check
as on success >= 1 is returned always - so this really is just a cleanup.

CONFIG_ATH10K=m
