Subject: [PATCH] PCI: aardvark: Don't rely on jiffies while holding spinlock

advk_pcie_wait_pio() can be called while holding a spinlock (from
pci_bus_read_config_dword()), then depends on jiffies in order to
timeout while polling on PIO state registers. In the case the PIO
transaction failed, the timeout will never happen and will also cause
the cpu to stall.

This decrements a variable and wait instead of using jiffies.
