pciexp_device: Prevent race condition with retrain link
The PCIe specification[1] describes a race condition that can occur when using the Retrain Link bit in the Link Control Register. The race condition is avoided by checking the retrain link bit in the link status register and waiting until it is set to 0, before initiating a new link retraining.
