[PATCH v3] ASPM: Use msleep instead of cpu_relax during linkretraining

[Andrew Patterson]

ASPM: Use msleep instead of cpu_relax during link retraining

The cpu_relax() function can be a noop on certain architectures
like IA-64 when CPU threads are disabled, so use msleep instead
during link retraining busy/wait loop.

Introduce define LINK_RETRAIN_TIMEOUT instead of hard-coding
timeout in pcie_aspm_configure_common_clock.

Use time_after() to avoid jiffy wraparound when checking for expired
timeout.

After timeout expires, recheck link status register link training bit
instead of checking for expired timeout to avoid possible false positive.

Note that Matthew Wilcox came up with the first rough version of
this patch.

Fixed an incorrect usage of time_after() in the 2nd version of this patch.
