Subject: [PATCH] qed: Fix a sleep-in-interrupt bug in qed_int_sp_dpc

The driver may sleep in interrupt handling, and the function call path is:
qed_int_sp_dpc (tasklet_init indicates it handles interrupt)
  qed_int_attentions
    qed_mcp_handle_events
      qed_mcp_handle_link_change
        qed_link_update
          qed_fill_link
            qed_mcp_get_media_type
              qed_ptt_acquire
                usleep_range --> may sleep

To fix it, the "usleep_range" is replaced with "udelay".
