Subject: [PATCH 4.6 042/203] rtlwifi: Fix scheduling while atomic error from commit 49f86ec21c01

4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@...inger.net>

commit de26859dcf363d520cc44e59f6dcaf20ebe0aadf upstream.

Commit 49f86ec21c01 ("rtlwifi: Change long delays to sleeps") was correct
for most cases; however, driver rtl8192ce calls the affected routines while
in atomic context. The kernel bug output is as follows:

BUG: scheduling while atomic: wpa_supplicant/627/0x00000002
[...]
  [<ffffffff815c2b39>] __schedule+0x899/0xad0

  [<ffffffff810e8b80>] ? hrtimer_init+0x120/0x120
  [<ffffffff815c5ba6>] ? schedule_hrtimeout_range_clock+0x96/0x120

  [<ffffffffa0667218>] rtl_rfreg_delay+0x38/0x50 [rtlwifi]
  [<ffffffffa06dd0e7>] rtl92c_phy_config_rf_with_headerfile+0xc7/0xe0 [rtl8192ce]

To fix this bug, three of the changes from delay to sleep are reverted.
Unfortunately, one of the changes involves a delay of 50 msec. The calling
code will be modified so that this long delay can be avoided; however,
this change is being pushed now to fix the problem in kernel 4.6.0.
