Subject: [PATCH 2/3] block: mtip32xx: Replace mdelay with msleep in mtip_service_thread

After checking all possible call chains to mtip_service_thread() here,
my tool finds that this function is never called in atomic context,
namely never in an interrupt handler or holding a spinlock.
And mtip_service_thread() calls wait_event_interruptible(),
so it indicates that mtip_hw_init() can call functions that can sleep.
Thus mdelay can be replaced with msleep to avoid busy wait.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
