wifi: iwlwifi: fw: cut down NIC wakeups during dump

Browse source 
Currently, the dump code attempts to dump any number of
memories and register banks, as defined by the firmware.
Especially when the device is failing, this can lead to
excessive time spent attempting to acquire NIC access
over and over again.

Improve the code to only attempt to acquire NIC access
once or twice, but using the new memory dump functions
that may drop the spinlock etc. Mark all dump regions
that require NIC access, and skip them if we couldn't
obtain that.

In order to avoid CPU latency due to the increased time
holding the spinlock (and possibly disabling softirqs),
drop locks and call cond_resched() after each section
(if holding NIC access) but don't release HW NIC access.
