nfit/ars: Allow root to busy-poll the ARS state machine
The ARS implementation implements exponential back-off on the poll interval to prevent high-frequency access to the DIMM / platform interface. Depending on when the ARS completes the poll interval may exceed the completion event by minutes. Allow root to reset the timeout each time it probes the status. A one-second timeout is still enforced, but root can otherwise can control the poll interval. Fixes: bc6ba8085842 ("nfit, address-range-scrub: rework and simplify ARS...")
