[patch 04/12] block/xd: replace schedule_timeout() with msleep()

[domen@coderock.org]

From: Nishanth Aravamudan <nacc@us.ibm.com>



Use msleep() instead of schedule_timeout() to guarantee the task
delays as expected. The current code wishes to sleep for 1 jiffy, but I am not
sure if this is actually intended, as with the change to HZ=1000, the time
equivalent of 1 jiffy changed from 10ms to 1ms. I have assumed the former in
this case; however the patch can be easily changed to assume the latter.
