Subject: [PATCH V2] s390/sclp: pass timeout as HZ independent value

schedule_timeout takes a timeout in jiffies but the code currently is
passing in a constant SDIAS_SLEEP_TICKS, as this is otherwise unused
it is replaced by 500ms as recommended by Michael Holzheu
<holzheu@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> and converted with msecs_to_jiffies();
As SDIAS_SLEEP_TICKS was only used in this one location it is dropped.

Patch was compile tested with (s390) defconfig + 
CONFIG_MARCH_Z10=y, (implies CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y)

Patch is against 4.1-rc5 (localversion-next is -next-20150529)

V2: timeout clarified by Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@...ibm.com> and
    set to 500ms (HZ/2). And thanks for the test-config hints.
