Subject: [PATCH v4] Staging: comedi: convert while loop to timeout in ni_mio_common.c

This patch for ni_mio_common.c changes out a while loop for a timeout,
which is preferred.

OK, here's another go at it.  Hopefully everything looks more correct
this time.  Greg, I've followed the pattern you gave me, and I really
appreciate all of the tips!  As always, just let me know if there are
still things that need adjusting (especially length of timeout, udelay,
etc.).

Thanks,
Chase Southwood

2: Changed from simple clean-up to swapping a timeout in for a while loop.

3: Removed extra counter variable, and added error checking.

4: No longer using counter variable, using jiffies instead.
