Subject: [PATCH] ASPM: Use msleep instead of cpu_relax during link retraining

ASPM: Use msleep instead of cpu_relax during link retraining

The cpu_relax() function can be a noop on certain architectures
like IA-64 when CPU threads are disabled, so use msleep instead
during link retraining busy/wait loop.

Introduce define LINK_RETRAIN_TIMEOUT instead of hard-coding
timeout in pcie_aspm_configure_common_clock.
