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.
