Subject: [PATCH v4] timers: Optimize usleep_range()

Most of the time the 'min' and 'max' parameters of usleep_range() are
constant. We can take advantage of it to pre-compute at compile time
some values otherwise computed at run-time in usleep_range_state().

Replace usleep_range_state() by a new __nsleep_range_delta_state() function
that takes as parameters the pre-computed values.

The main benefit is to save a few instructions, especially 2
multiplications (x1000 when converting us to ns).


Some hand simplified diff of the generated asm are given below. They were
produced on a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770, with gcc 11.2.0.

drivers/clk/clk-si514.c (taken as an example)
-----------------------
In this driver we have:
   usleep_range(10000, 12000);

  ea0:	45 85 e4             	test   %r12d,%r12d
  ea3:	0f 88 f6 fc ff ff    	js     b9f <si514_set_rate+0x9f>
  ea9:	e8 00 00 00 00       	call   eae <si514_set_rate+0x3ae>
- eae:	be e0 2e 00 00       	mov    $0x2ee0,%esi             ;     12.000
- eb3:	bf 10 27 00 00       	mov    $0x2710,%edi             ;     10.000
+ eae:	be 80 84 1e 00       	mov    $0x1e8480,%esi           ;  2.000.000
+ eb3:	bf 80 96 98 00       	mov    $0x989680,%edi           ; 10.000.000
  eb8:	ba 02 00 00 00       	mov    $0x2,%edx
  ebd:	e8 00 00 00 00       	call   ec2 <si514_set_rate+0x3c2>
  ec2:	44 8b 74 24 30       	mov    0x30(%rsp),%r14d

The asm produced in the caller is mostly the same. Only constant values
passed to usleep_range_state() or __nsleep_range_delta_state() are
different. No other instructions or whatever is different.
