firewire: core: optimize propagation of BROADCAST_CHANNEL

Cache the test result of whether a device implements BROADCAST_CHANNEL.
This minimizes traffic on the bus after each bus reset.  A majority of
devices does not implement BROADCAST_CHANNEL.

Remove busy retries; just rely on the hardware to retry requests to busy
responders.  Remove unnecessary log messages.

Rename the flag is_irm to broadcast_channel_allocated to better reflect
its meaning.  Reset the flag earlier in fw_core_handle_bus_reset.

Pass the generation down as a call parameter; that way generation can't
be newer than card->broadcast_channel_allocated and device->node_id.
