Subject: [PATCH] paride/pcd: convert timeout with msecs_to_jiffies

API compliance scanning with coccinelle flagged:
./drivers/block/paride/pcd.c:547:16-18: use of msecs_to_jiffies probably
	preferable

Converting milliseconds to jiffies by "val * HZ / 1000" is technically
not a clean solution as it does not handle all corner cases correctly.
By changing the conversion to use msecs_to_jiffies(val) conversion is
correct in all cases.

Patch was compile tested with x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_PARPORT=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m, CONFIG_PARIDE=m, CONFIG_PARIDE_PCD=m

Patch is against 4.1-rc5 (localversion-next is -next-20150527)

Converted the HZ / 10 to msecs_to_jiffies(100) simply because it makes
it clear that its a value in jiffies - not sure if thats ok - its
technically not needed.
