When polling a device register under irq lock the polling loop terminates
after a given number of jiffies. Make this timeout independent of the HZ
setting.
All 5380 drivers benefit from this patch, which optimizes the PIO fast
path, because they all use PIO transfers (for phases other than DATA IN
and DATA OUT). Some cards support only PIO transfers (even for DATA
phases). CPU cycles are scarce on some of these systems, so a small
improvement here makes a big difference.

This patch eliminates a call to jiffies_to_usecs from the fast path.
For g_NCR5380 it also eliminates a mul instruction and an imul instruction.
For ARM drivers like oak, this change eliminates an __aeabi_uidiv call.
