dsa: mv88e6xxx: Do a final check before timing out



I get sporadic timeouts from the driver when using the
MV88E6352. Reading the status again after the loop fixes the
problem: the operation is successful but goes undetected.

Some added prints show things like this:

[   58.356209] mv88e6085 mdio_mux-0.1:00: Timeout while waiting
    for switch, addr 1b reg 0b, mask 8000, val 0000, data c000
[   58.367487] mv88e6085 mdio_mux-0.1:00: Timeout waiting for
    ATU op 4000, fid 0001
(...)
[   61.826293] mv88e6085 mdio_mux-0.1:00: Timeout while waiting
    for switch, addr 1c reg 18, mask 8000, val 0000, data 9860
[   61.837560] mv88e6085 mdio_mux-0.1:00: Timeout waiting
    for PHY command 1860 to complete

The reason is probably not the commands: I think those are
mostly fine with the 50+50ms timeout, but the problem
appears when OpenWrt brings up several interfaces in
parallel on a system with 7 populated ports: if one of
them take more than 50 ms and waits one or more of the
others can get stuck on the mutex for the switch and then
this can easily multiply.

As we sleep and wait, the function loop needs a final
check after exiting the loop if we were successful.
