[PATCH] et131x: use msecs_to_jiffies for conversions

From: Nicholas Mc Guire <hidden>

This is only an API consolidation and should make things more readable.
Converting milliseconds to jiffies by "val * HZ / 1000" is technically
OK but msecs_to_jiffies(val) is the cleaner solution and handles all
corner cases correctly. This is a minor API cleanup only.

Patch was compile-tested only for x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_ET131X=m

Patch is against 3.19.0 (localversion-next is -next-20150211)
