[PATCH 6/7] ath12k: add PCIe link recovery retry

[Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez <jtornosm@redhat.com>]

When ath12k devices are passed through to VMs via PCIe passthrough,
the PCIe link may not stabilize immediately after global reset due to
virtualization layer timing variations. This causes MHI initialization
to fail with "BHI offset: 0xffffffff is out of range" errors because
the device is read before it's ready.

Currently, ath12k_pci_soc_global_reset() just warns if the link is
down but continues anyway, leading to inevitable MHI failures.

This patch adds:
1. A retry loop (up to 5000ms) to wait for the PCIe link to recover
   after global reset (similar to the existing LTSSM retry logic)
2. Proper error propagation to prevent continuing with a dead link

This is especially important for VM environments where timing can vary
significantly from bare metal.
