Do not wait for channel command buffers in IPA commands.
The potential wait could be done while holding a spin lock and causes
in recent kernels such a bug if kernel lock debugging is enabled:

The device driver has plenty of command buffers available
per channel for channel command communication.
In the extremely rare case when there is no command buffer
available, return a NULL pointer and issue a warning
in the kernel log. The caller handles the case when
a NULL pointer is encountered and returns an error.
In the case the wait for command buffer is possible
(because no lock is held as in the OSN case), still wait
until a channel command buffer is available.
