[PATCH 2/2] qe: add polling timeout to qe_issue_cmd()

The qe_issue_cmd() function (Freescale PowerPC QUICC Engine library) polls on
a register until a status bit changes, but does not include a timeout to
handle the situation if the bit never changes.  Change the code to use the new
spin_event_timeout() macro, which simplifies polling on a register without
a timeout.

This patch depends on my previous patch, "powerpc: introduce macro
spin_event_timeout()".
