    iwlwifi: avoid (hard) hang on loading module

    For certain users or chipsets (reports were for CNVi devices but
    we are not sure if this is limited or specific to them) loading
    if_iwlwifi hangs.

    The reason for this is that a SYSINIT (module_load_order()) has not
    yet run in this case and the Linux driver tries to load the
    chipsets-specific module.  On FreeBSD all supported sub-modules are
    part of if_iwlwifi so we do not have to load them separately but
    calling into kern_kldload via LinuxKPI request_module while loading
    the module gives us a hard hang.

    iwlwifi calls request_module_nowait() so we can simply skip over this
    and continue and the SYSINIT will do the job later if no other
    dependencies fail.
