can: c_can: Speed up rx_poll function

This patch speeds up the rx_poll function by reducing the number of
register reads.

Replace the 32bit register read by a 16bit register read. Currently
the 32bit register read is implemented by using 2 16bit reads. This is
inefficient as we only use the lower 16bit in rx_poll.

The for loop reads the pending interrupts in every iteration. This
leads up to 16 reads of pending interrupts. The patch introduces a new
outer loop to read the pending interrupts as long as 'quota' is above 0.
This reduces the total number of reads.

The third change is to replace the for-loop by a ffs loop.

Tested on AM335x. I removed all 'static' and 'inline' from c_can.c to
see the timings for all functions. I used the function tracer with
trace_stats.
