rt2x00: Cleanup indirect register access

All code which accessed indirect registers was similar
in respect to the for-loop, the given timeout, etc.
Move it into a seperate function, which for PCI drivers
can be moved into rt2x00pci.

This allows us to cleanup the cleanup the code further
by removing the goto statementsand making the codepath
look a bit nicer.
