Currently hsmp_send_message() uses down_timeout() with a 100ms timeout
to take the semaphore. However __hsmp_send_message(), the content of the
critical section, has a sleep in it. On systems with significantly
delayed scheduling behaviour this may take over 100ms.
Convert this method to down_interruptible(). Leave the error handling
the same as the documentation currently is not specific about what error
is returned.
Previous behaviour: a caller who competes with another caller stuck in
the critical section due to scheduler delays would receive -ETIME.
New behaviour: a caller who competes with another caller stuck in the
critical section due to scheduler delays will complete successfully.
