wmb(), rmb() are not needed when writel(), readl() are used as
accessors for MMIO. We use them indirectly via iowrite32(),
ioread32().
What is needed mmiowb(), for synchronizing writes coming from
different CPUs on PCIe bridge (see in patch comments). This
fortunately is not needed on x86, where mmiowb() is just
defined as compiler barrier. As iwlegacy devices are most likely
not used on anything other than x86, this is not so important
fix.

Before we write to the device register always check if
_il_grap_nic_access() was successful.
Change type return type _il_grap_nic_access() to bool, and
add likely()/unlikely() statements.

Print dump stack when the device is not responding. This should give
some more clue about the reason of failure. Also change the message we
print, since "MAC in deep sleep" is kinda confusing.
On the way add unlikely(), as fail to gain NIC access is hmm ...
unlikely.

This save us about 20k of text size, and should have no impact on
performance as hot paths do not use much I/O.

The advantage of kcalloc is, that will prevent integer overflows which could
result from the multiplication of number of elements and size and it is also
a bit nicer to read.
