[PATCH] e1000e: changed some expensive calls of udelay to usleep_range

[Kardonik Michael]

Calls to udelay are not preemtable by userspace so userspace
applications experience a large (~200us) latency when running on core0. 
Instead usleep_range can be used to be more friendly to userspace
since it is preemtable. This is due to udelay using busy-wait loops
while usleep_rang uses hrtimers instead. It is recommended to use
udelay when the delay is <10us since at that precision overhead of
usleep_range hrtimer setup causes issues. However, the replaced calls
are for 50us and 100us so this should not be not an issue.
There is no open bug that this patch is fixing, but we see a good
boost in zero loss performance of specific user space application 
(dpdk l3fwd) when this patch is applied: we get from 32% of 10Gb line 
to 49%.
