Subject: igc: Fix infinite loop in release_swfw_sync
From: Sasha Neftin <sasha.neftin@intel.com>
[ Upstream commit 907862e9aef75bf89e2b265efcc58870be06081e ]
An infinite loop may occur if we fail to acquire the HW semaphore,
which is needed for resource release.
This will typically happen if the hardware is surprise-removed.
At this stage there is nothing to do, except log an error and quit.
Fixes: c0071c7aa5fe ("igc: Add HW initialization code")
