The function could report a false positive if it gets preempted between reading
the XEL_MDIOCTRL_OFFSET register and checking for the timeout.  In such a case,
the condition has to be rechecked to avoid false positives.

Therefore, check for expected condition even after the timeout occurred.

Same objections as your previous patch.

This isn't fixing anything.
