watchdog: omap_wdt: improve watchdog reset path
Remove busy looping during watchdog reset.
Each polling of W_PEND_WTGR bit ("finish posted
write") after watchdog reset takes 120-140us
on BeagleBone Black board. Current U-Boot code
has watchdog resets in random places and often
there is situation when watchdog is reset
few times in a row in nested functions.
This adds extra delays and slows the whole system.
Instead of polling W_PEND_WTGR bit, we skip
watchdog reset if the bit is set. Anyway, watchdog
is in the middle of reset *right now*, so we can
just return.
This noticeably increases performance of the
system. Below are some measurements on BBB:
- DFU upload over USB 15% faster
- fastboot image upload 3x times faster
- USB ep0 transfers with 4k packets 20% faster
