Subject: [PATCH net] qlcnic: fix sleep-in-atomic-context bugs caused by msleep

The watchdog timer is used to monitor whether the process
of transmitting data is timeout. If we use qlcnic driver,
the dev_watchdog() that is the timer handler of watchdog
timer will call qlcnic_tx_timeout() to process the timeout.
But the qlcnic_tx_timeout() calls msleep(), as a result,
the sleep-in-atomic-context bugs will happen. The processes
are shown below:

   (atomic context)
dev_watchdog
  qlcnic_tx_timeout
    qlcnic_83xx_idc_request_reset
      qlcnic_83xx_lock_driver
        msleep

---------------------------

   (atomic context)
dev_watchdog
  qlcnic_tx_timeout
    qlcnic_83xx_idc_request_reset
      qlcnic_83xx_lock_driver
        qlcnic_83xx_recover_driver_lock
          msleep

Fix by changing msleep() to mdelay(), the mdelay() is
busy-waiting and the bugs could be mitigated.
