After an error on the PCI link, the driver does not need to wait
for the link to become functional again as a reset is required. Stop
the wait loop in this case to accelerate the recovery flow.

Ok, so if the PCI link is completely offline (pci_channel_offline) then
we just bail out immediately and fail to recover, reporting to the user
as-such. Then a system administrator can setup in and perform the
appropriate reset? Rather than not reporting until the timeout
completes. Essentially, we know that this will never recover at this
point so stop wasting time.
Makes sense.

We already sent a patch to net not too long a go to break this while loop
when there is a triggered reset:
net/mlx5: Stop waiting for PCI up if teardown was triggered
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[email protected]/
Usually when the pci goes offline, either the PCI subsystem will detect
that and will trigger the mlx5 teardown or mlx5 health check will detect it
and will initiate the teardown, in both ways the MLX5_BREAK_FW_WAIT flag
will be raised and the loop will quit, please let me know if you think
the extra check of pci_channel_offline(dev->pdev) is still required here
for your system.
