Subject: [PATCH] drm/msm: Avoid rounding down to zero jiffies

From: Rob Clark <robdclark@...omium.org>

If userspace asked for a timeout greater than zero, but less than a
jiffy, they clearly weren't planning on spinning.  So it is better
to round up to one.

This fixes an issue with supertuxkart that was (for some reason)
spinning on a gl sync with 1ms timeout.  CPU time for a demo lap
drops from:

  15.83user 20.98system 0:47.46elapsed 77%CPU

to:

  8.84user 2.30system 0:46.67elapsed 23%CPU
