Subject: [PATCH v8] 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.

Okay, back to v2, basically.  I fixed the checkpatch warning from v2,
and added the error checking that was from v3, but otherwise it is the
same.  Of note, I have used a udelay of 1 here (Greg had suggested to
use 10, but Ian prefers 1 so I have gone with that, and I assume that
cpu_relax is no longer an option.).

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.

5: udelay for 10u, instead of 1u.

6: Scrap udelay entirely, in favor of cpu_relax. Include asm/processor.h
in order to use cpu_relax.

7: Fix typo (msec vs msecs).

8: Revert back to v2, with some small changes (see above).
