Subject: [PATCH] scsi: qla2xxx: reduce time granularity of qla2x00_eh_wait_on_command

If the cmd has not be returned after aborted by qla2x00_eh_abort,
we have to wait for it. However, the time is 1000ms at least currently.
If there are a lot cmds need to be aborted, the delay could be long
enough to lead to panic due to such as hung task, ocfs2 heartbeat,
etc, just before scsi recovery works.

Change the granularity to 1ms, even though more context switches
would be introduced, but it should be ok as it is not hot path.
