Subject: [PATCH 1/2] regulator: core: Sleep (not delay) in set_voltage()

These delays can be relatively large (e.g., hundreds of microseconds on
RK3399 Gru systems). Per Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst, that
should usually use a sleeping delay. Let's use fsleep() to handle both
large and small delays appropriately. This avoids burning a bunch of CPU
time and hurting scheduling latencies when hitting regulators a lot
(e.g., during cpufreq).

The sleep vs. delay issue choice has been made differently over time --
early versions of RK3399 Gru PWM-regulator support used usleep_range()
in pwm-regulator.c. More of this got moved into the regulator core,
in commits like:

73e705bf81ce regulator: core: Add set_voltage_time op

At the same time, the sleep turned into a delay.

It's OK to sleep here, as we aren't in an atomic contexts. (All our
callers grab various mutexes already.)
