[PATCH RFC v2] ath10k: move code from parameter list into a function

Putting code into the parameter list of wait_event_timeout() might be
legal C-code but not really readable - the "inline" code is simply
moved into a function and that passed to wait_event_timeout() as the
condition. As wait_event_timeout will always return >= 0 the following
timeout check is fixed up to ret == 0 .

Thanks to Bjorn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> for clarifying my initial confusion !

v2: Thanks to Pat Erley <pat-lkml@erley.org> for catching the botched skip
parameter - should have been call by reference not value - fixed here.

As Bjorn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> pointed out, a patch like this is hard to
verify by testing - but I do think that the code readability is much
better (if the patch is correct with respect to code behavior) and helps
simplify/automate API usage checking so its worth the effort.

Comments on if this is functionally equivalent to the original code as well
as if the helper func name is suitable would be appreciated.

Patch was only compile tested with x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_ATH_CARDS=m,
CONFIG_ATH10K=m and the generated mac.i file code reviewed.

Patch is against 4.0-rc3 (localversion-next is -next-20150311)
