As a side effect of commit 5401c3e099 ("qed: allow sleep in
qed_mcp_trace_dump()"), 'ethtool -d' became much slower.
Almost all the time is spent collecting the "mcp_trace".
It is caused by sleeping too long in _qed_mcp_cmd_and_union.
When called with sleeping not allowed, the function delays for 10 µs
between firmware polls. But if sleeping is allowed, it sleeps for 10 ms
instead.
The sleeps in _qed_mcp_cmd_and_union are unnecessarily long.
Replace msleep with usleep_range, which allows to achieve a similar
polling interval like in the no-sleeping mode (10 - 20 µs).
The only caller, qed_mcp_cmd_and_union, can stop doing the
multiplication/division of the usecs/max_retries. The polling interval
and the number of retries do not need to be parameters at all.
On my test system, 'ethtool -d' now takes 4 seconds instead of 44.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
