Re: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH iwl-net 1/2] ice: reintroduce retry mechanism for indirect AQ

Dear Dawid, dear Jakub,

Add retry mechanism for indirect Admin Queue (AQ) commands. To do so we
need to keep the command buffer.

This technically reverts commit 43a630e37e25
("ice: remove unused buffer copy code in ice_sq_send_cmd_retry()"),
but combines it with a fix in the logic by using a kmemdup() call,
making it more robust and less likely to break in the future due to
programmer error.

Ccing Michal, given they are the author of the "reverted" commit.
