[PATCH v7] Staging: comedi: convert while loop to timeout in ni_mio_common.c

From: Chase Southwood

This patch for ni_mio_common.c changes out a while loop for a timeout,
which is preferred.

Hartley,
I sincerely apologize for the obvious mistake, I thought I had built it
but clearly I made a mistake somewhere, as your observation is exactly
correct. It is now fixed.

Thanks,
Chase Southwood

2: Changed from simple clean-up to swapping a timeout in for a while loop.

3: Removed extra counter variable, and added error checking.

4: No longer using counter variable, using jiffies instead.

5: udelay for 10u, instead of 1u.

6: Scrap udelay entirely, in favor of cpu_relax. Include asm/processor.h
in order to use cpu_relax.

7: Fix typo (msec vs msecs).
