Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/3] net: ipa: reduce aggregation time limit

Halve the time limit used when aggregation is enabled on an RX
endpoint, to half a millisecond.

Use DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST() to compute the value that represents the
time period, to get better accuracy in the event the time limit is
not an even multiple of the granularity.
