[PATCH] wdt: Fix locking

[Alan Cox]

The audit of _p usage shows various drivers assume inb_p is somehow
atomic. Of course it isn't and the delay can be split from the I/O cycle
causing a timing violation on chips that matter (eg this one)

With the proposed use of udelay() for some _p delays this will cease to
be a mostly theoretical bug (as the delay stall is unsplittable) and
wants fixing.

Lots of other drivers need fixing this way too.
