Subject: [PATCHv2 net-next] cxgb4: Enhance driver to update FW, when FW is too old

t4_check_fw_version() can return several error codes (-EINVAL, -EBUSY,
-EAGAIN). The present code sets the adapter state to UNINIT only if its
an EFAULT. In all the error cases set the adapter to uninitialized state.

In t4_check_fw_version() if call to t4_get_fw_version() fails, repeat the
operation a few times before returning failure.

V2: Retry t4_get_fw_version() only if ret value is EBUSY or EAGAIN
    Based on review comment by Neil Horman <nhroman@...driver.com>
