The ASO completion poll loop uses usleep_range() which can sleep much
longer than requested due to scheduler latency. Under load, we witnessed
a 20ms+ delay until the process was rescheduled, causing the jiffies
based timeout to expire while the thread is sleeping.
The original do-while loop structure (poll, sleep, check timeout) would
exit without a final poll when waking after timeout, missing a CQE that
arrived during sleep.
Instead of the open-coded while loop, use the kernel's
read_poll_timeout() which always performs an additional check after the
sleep expiration, and is less error-prone.
Note: read_poll_timeout() doesn't accept a sleep range, by passing 10
sleep_us the sleep range effectively changes from 2-10 to 3-10 usecs.
Fixes: 739cfa34518e ("net/mlx5: Make ASO poll CQ usable in atomic context")
Fixes: 7e3fce82d945 ("net/mlx5e: Overcome slow response for first macsec ASO WQE")
