Subject: [PATCH net-next] netpoll: Fix carrier_timeout for msleep()

It should be sleep carrier_timeout seconds rather than 4 seconds if
carrier_timeout has been modified.
Add start variable, hence atleast and atmost use the same jiffies, and
use msecs_to_jiffies() and MSEC_PER_SEC match with jiffies.
At the same time, msleep() is not for 1ms - 20ms, use usleep_range()
instead, see Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst.

Fixes: bff38771e106 ("netpoll: Introduce netpoll_carrier_timeout kernel option")
