Subject: [PATCH net-next] liquidio VF: reduce load time of module

From: Prasad Kanneganti <prasad.kanneganti@...ium.com>

Reduce the load time of the VF driver by decreasing the wait time between
iterations of the loop that polls for a mailbox response from the PF. Also
change the wait time units from jiffies to milliseconds.
