powerpc/rtas: Use fsleep() to minimize additional sleep duration
When commit
38f7b7067dae ("powerpc/rtas: rtas_busy_delay() improvements")
was introduced, documentation about proper usage of sleep related functions
was outdated.
The commit message references the usage of a HZ=100 system. When using a
20ms sleep duration on such a system and therefore using msleep(), the
possible additional slack will be +10ms.
When the system is configured with HZ=100 the granularity of a jiffy and of
a bucket of the lowest timer wheel level is 10ms. To make sure a timer will
not expire early (when queueing of the timer races with an concurrent
update of jiffies), timers are always queued into the next bucket. This is
the reason for the maximal possible slack of 10ms.
fsleep() limits the maximal possible slack to 25% by making threshold
between usleep_range() and msleep() HZ dependent. As soon as the accuracy
of msleep() is sufficient, the less expensive timer list timer based
sleeping function is used instead of the more expensive hrtimer based
usleep_range() function. The udelay() will not be used in this specific
usecase as the lowest sleep length is larger than 1 millisecond.
Use fsleep() directly instead of using an own heuristic for the best
sleeping mechanism to use.
